Haha oh dur, I just reread what you said. Yeah a 14” dob would be awesome. I’ve never seen the view through anything more than my old 12” Starfinder and it was great. Views with larger scopes must be awesome! Actually I lie, I remember seeing Hale Boop a couple months after it was discovered through the 16” Meade LX200 at Sydney Observatory. But I only got like a 15 second glimpse!

Really, you think a 10” newt is too much for the EQ6? Wow ok. I thought it would be more than enough for AP. I need to rethink this then. Maybe whack a SCT on it after all? I think the 45 in the iOptron stands for 45lbs? Just read that on the iOptron website.

Maybe a complete 10" Meade LX200 ACF isnt a crazy idea afterall? Im not too much in a rush for AP and more leaning towards visual for now anyway.
