Ahhh I see, well in that case yes you have the right scope then, exactly why I got it in the first place too . Thing is, as good as my new place is as far as being dark and with steadier skies, it is quite windy at times so I have let a few clear nights go because of this ...oh well can't have it all, the dome will be a welcomed addition
