I hope we have not hijacked this thread, but here goes.
I really enjoy your posts John & Larry. We seem to be of the same vintage, but I think you blokes may even have a few years on me.
I have not had my SDM long, but hope next winter to present a big test to as many as possible at a major star party. I intend to line up the 18" (Sutching mirror) against the 130EDT. Both will be on GoTo mounts and both at the same magnification - either 75x or 150x (27mm pan, 13 & 7mm naglers)
It will be interesting to compare the views, and how pleasing each view is. My initial impression is that the Starfire 130EDT will not be disgraced.
Hence my support of Damien's initial intention to purchase a high quality refractor.
