It's time to graduate from my first scope. An 8" dob that has been fun, but now I know a bit more (knowledge is dangerous - and expensive) and have more of an idea what I want to do, it's time to move on - and up.
I want something that is somewhat portable, good visual and imaging work and have tentatively decided on a Meade 10" LX200ACF. Was looking at the CPC11 as well but reviews on the optics being better in the meade, flatter field, less coma and being generally better for imaging have pushed me in that direction. So any info from people who have had or have this scope would be great.
Also, suggestions on getting the whole setup w/ wedge for imaging or just the OTA and sticking it on a HEQ5 or EQ6 would be great.
If you think my line of thinking is absurd and I need a slap, then i'm happy to hear that too
