Skywatcher collapsible Dobsonian

There is a glowing review of this scope (12" version) here on IIC. I like the sound of the collapsible tube that adds portability and ease of set up in a larger scope.

Does anyone know whether the Skywatcher Black Diamond Dob mounts are compatible with the Argo Navis DTC? I know you can get the 10" version with an auto tracker but I think I would prefer the larger scope and use an Argo Navis.

Also, are there any major drawbacks with this scope that anyone is aware of?

Hi,
Have a look here.
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...t=35708&page=6 look for post 112 and down the page.

I wish I still had this scope

SW Dob with AN and some Mods perfect.

Thanks David...looks like there is some good advice there. I may invest in one of those telescopes in the future.
