I love the open wide field and will buy a 10" dob next time. I had a smit-cass 127 meade wth the computer tracking I never used. It was nice really but the tracking was screwed up. The little slow motion button though was nice to center and follow the object since I shake alot. I do think the 10" dob with a 30mm, and at least 82 degrees field of view. Definately second hand and still $300/ $400. The culmination part I will study up on. I allso will get the two speed crayford focuser and of course the eye piece filters.. Thank you this is fun. I would love to do the star party thing. In southern California the skys are clear even one mile from the border so I will check what ever forum they have for that.
