Thanks Rob. The following is from Andrews Communication:
C8-SGT 8" Go-To XLT
200mm x 2000mm package
This is within my price range. I understand I will miss out on the wider targets ... but would the viewing comfort on something like this be reasonable? I take it the tracking would be good for such viewing?
Will check out some reviews...
I think I like the idea if it's a closed unit and a bit easier to store in my house and so on ... those aspects are attractive too. I have read they are also a good way to start with a web cam perhaps? ...
Thanks for your response ... you have helped me out in the past too.
Cheers
Dave.
Edit...after looking for a bit ... would the fact that there is not 2" back on it be a major issue ... could I upgrade this later on?
I note the mount that comes with it ...
CG-5 "Go-To" may not be the version that other retailers are selling it with ...
the OTA is 1199 which would leave me being able to get somthing like the HEQ5pro (pushing it but I could pull that off)
I wonder if the OTA would come with rings and a mount or is that like more HUNDREDS of dollars?
What do you think?
Please be honest
