Hi elp, thanks for your reply. I understand that it's either/or (from what I understand [at a very high level] arpeture vs magnification) and that's what I'm trying to figure out, which rabbit hole I want to go down with my eventual purchase. And no, my experience tracking objects in the sky is very minimal, one of the reasons I am looking to these two options. What I was looking for in my post was, given the time of year, dates (April 20-24 2024), and the other specifics I listed, which option some of of you might choose. It's a rental, not a crazy decision, was just looking for some opinions to try and get the most out of the experience for me and my wife to enjoy. Again, thanks everyone for you opinions.
