Swapping my c8 for 10" dob, opinions please?
Hi everyone just wanting some opinions, I currently image using a ed80t on a c5gt mount and I'm very happy with the results. But I'm thinking I need something to do while I'm imaging. I have a c8 that I use for visual usually I have this on my mount Doing visual befor imaging I then swap it for the ed80t for imaging. I'm considering selling my c8 to help fund a 10" dob, my thinking is that wen i go star gazing I can set up my imaging gear and whilst I'm imaging use the dob to do visual. Sort of maximizing my time out doors.
Also I'm finding I just can't be bothered setting up my eq mount and gear in my backyard cos of the light pollution I have. If I have a non goto dob I can just wheel it out and in in minutes.
I'm just in 2 minds cos I will be going low tech for visual and I must admit I'm enjoying the added satisfaction of star hopping.
Opinions anyone?
Cheers
