It’s true Peter, it would be a good scope and it’s at a good price but unfortunately it’s not exactly what I want. I just have to wait a little while longer for the right equipment to show up. I do have my heart set on at least a 10” and I would like the goto capability and payload capacity of the NEQ6Pro. The troubling thing to be honest with you though even after all this discussion is I am still undecided. Brain is saying go easy to manage and take the advice I have been given here. Heart is saying you only live once, get a 10” LX200 ACF… talk about break the bank… (and possibly back).
Ken, yeah after reading the thread I saw last night I definitely won’t be going down the path of a 12” scope on a NEQ6Pro mount. Not worth it and I think it would shorten the life span of the mount. That said, some guys on that thread were also saying that a 10” was pushing it?? Bit surprised by that. Some were also saying that while some scopes were lighter than the recommended max payload capacity, long reflectors pushed the mount harder due to the fact that they are long and I guess “back heavy”? I would have thought that counter weights would cancel this issue out?
