One night at Coona under superb conditions with the 25" and a 12mm Nagler, I had "stars everywhere". I am only familiar with them down to "I" and had no finder chart, so not sure what was what, but easily the best view I have ever had of the trap.

Wow, sounds like a very memorable experience. I've never owned a Dob and I am interested in getting one. What would you recommend? I am thinking around the 12 inch size and not too heavy.
Greg.
