Well over night I've had 2nd thoughts. I'm just not convinced the SW is worth my hard earned cash. I still have my doubts to its long term performance, reliability and as a cash investment. Many people are happy while they are new, but there are starting to be several scopes now showing issues and pointing errors.
My option #2 has been to create a dob base for a 10" SW newt I already own and add argonavis. This would cost a total of $1000 or less and should have zero problems - ie, a base that will perform well long term, and good pointing accuracy. Although no tracking....
I'm in no rush so have plenty of time to decide.
Dave.
