Hello all,
Peter, Clive, Profiler and Greg, thank you for your time and informative advice. Your views have made me feel better.
My fear was that I would spend $4,500 on the WO132 refractor and then find my images were no better than what I have captured with the Vixen!
Profiler, you are right, I do think I lean towards refractors. The Vixen was meant to replace the M110, however, a constant problem with movement in the DEC which I didn't have the experience to work out whether it was the mount, the focuser or flexure resulted in the Vixen going into storage. Greig, you are correct about the quality of the Vixen, you do get what you pay for.
The M110 on the other hand has been a pleasure to use with absolutely no problems over the last year. The results have been excellent and it so portable, which is important when you live in suburban Sydney.
Clive, thanks for the kind offer.
I think I am at the stage where I want to upgrade and the WO132 seems the logical progression. Maybe, I will give the Vixen another attempt...just to make sure!
So, thanks again guys. You have given me the confidence I needed to take the next step.
Ross.
