10" SCT versus 12" Newtonian - what are the differences?
Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone could explain what differences there would be between say a 10" f/10 SCT (e.g. Meade LX200) and 12" f/4 imaging Newtonian (e.g. GSO) for planetary imaging and visual observing on an EQ6 mount?

(If it helps... I currently have a 132 mm apo refractor.)

Thanks!


Dave
