Hi Thiink,

think (no pun intended) about the 14" celestron you looked through. I gather that it was a SCT (Cassegrain). At the front end is a large secondary obstruction. When taking this obstruction into account you may find that a 10" or 12" dob may actually give as much light collecting power, or very near, for a lot less money.
