Thanks guys, i have done a little DSO in the past, and am going to do a little more before i get my new telescope. I don't usualy travel, and when i do, i only to up in the hills. My skies are relatively dark, but i can only see stars down to mag.5, to 5.5. The reason I am thinking about the lightbridge,is because it is more portable than the GSO dob. The GSO dob is less expensive than the meade, and i'll probably go 4 the delux model, but i was wondring how it compares to the optics of the meade, and why is the meade so much more expensive. I think the idea about the digital setting circles, but if i wanted to do that, i would probably go for something similar to the skyquest intelliscope 12", as it is alot cheaper than argo navis, but i shal look into the pricing of the sky commanders.
