works well
ditto - OK for planetary - may as well go for the 12 inch. Recommend a better focuser (Moonlite maybe) - the GSO focuser will bend too much when you add the filter wheel, Barlow and DMK. link might be some use. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...&highlight=gso

A Newtonian scope has about twice the wind loading footprint of an equivalent SCT - makes life interesting in anything but still conditions and is something you should consider when planning the observatory.
