Noidea, I am about to update to a larger scope, I've decided to go to the Meade 12" deluxe truss. Main reason for this is that I will only use the scope visually. And I will be able to fit it in my Ford Laser. A fixed tube 12" would be a tight squeeze. Having said that, a friend of mine has just purchased a G.S.O. 12" dob. We viewed through it last night, the views were excellent and there was a definant difference between it and a 10" nearby.

He also has a EQ6 mount that will take the scope for astrophotgraphy, his passion. I hope this helps. Cheers, John
