Hello fellow members, it has been a long time since I last posted, too long I know, unfortunately the money I had in my first astronomy kitty had to be spent on more demanding things, but the new kitty has grown again, last time I had my mind made up on a 150 or 200p newt with whatever EQ mount they came from FLO, right now my thoughts have changed, now I'm looking at a 8" or 10" dob, the flex tube models would be better for storage, or the Skymax 127 on a AZ5 mount, I understand the Skymax would give me a narrower FOV, but it's compactness appeals to me, I initially would like to view the moon, jupiter and saturn etc and hopefully get some moon shots with my dslr, but it's the dobs greater light capturing capabilities and that wider FOV that's swaying down that avenue, I wouldn't be problem taking it out etc, so it's light gathering or compactness, it doesn't get any easier to make these decisions, any thoughts or guidance would be as always appreciated, thanks🤔
