Bintel in Camberwell sell Dobs (including 16" ones) and I can recommend their service if you want somewhere local.

hehe i'm in camberwell so it's close-as. Yep. Ive decided. 16" Dob from Bintel... and then i'll get a servo motor put in lol. it'll have it's own observatory too.
I was actually thinking... maybe an obsession 20" for like $7000+ but i'd rather not have to deal with overseas... I might go with the 16" instead since I can buy it pretty fast locally and it's way cheaper. hell yeah!

I might stick a filter in it for planets. Clouds are the best filter I reckon, tho. omg yes. this will be the best solution to see the celestial orbs!
U guys are awesome. Thanks so much for clarifying things.
