You gotta ask yourself this question before you make a choice:

Which one will end up " costing " you the most.

Brilliant jjj!!! I was thinking I would have to find an image somewhere, and you have done it. Dearest Brian is female IISers most popular male at the moment. 10/10 for you.

Can we please keep this thread on a Technical theme, and keep your minds out of the gutter!

The detail in this beautifully made telescope is amazing.
