Matt,

I see no problem as to the direction the thread has taken. This is the nature of forums. The original poster has had advice on mounts and additional advice on scopes as well. I am sure he is not complaining.

The thread then took the direction as to whether a small high quality refractor is a reasonable choice for a first serious scope. This was still very much on topic. The later discussions are very much related to this matter, I have found them informative and interesting.

Just becuse a thread takes a slightly different direction from the original post does really matter. What does matter is the depth and breadth of the following posts in relation to the discussion. A new thread is not the always the way to promote good discourse.

I am in no way disappointed with the SDM - I just have not had the opportunity to stretch its legs as yet. Hope to see you at the next SPSP with your new 28"!

John
