Hi Erwin
My scope has a focal length of 750mm, which makes it f5. I saw a current model 150mm Skywatcher in Hardly Normal the other day with F 1000mm, which would be a bit better for planetary work at f6.7.
I find this size quite easy to handle and toteable. I'm trying out a mod on the focuser to reduce movement to the scope when adjusting.
I haven't collimated for quite a while, so I might check it this weekend.
