I would definitely recommend going to a star party to check out the variety of scopes available, and how they work in practice. Each design has its strengths and weaknesses, and one persons strength is another's weakness
Agree with Tim here and all.
You need to look through and use some of these scopes to get a feel of what is ''mother's milk'' and what is ''poison'' to you.........and I mean TO you!

Tim and I settled on a 12 inch SCT and from what I have experienced so far, I would not have anything else.
