meade etx80 vs dob 150p

[usher4566]

Hi peps is this worth the upgrade.

[Peter Drew]

If you mean an upgrade to the 150P Dob then I think it would represent a considerable upgrade.

So do I...

[Moonshane]

I agree. almost 4x the light gathering power.

[NGC 1502]

Yes, a 150mm reflector would be a good upgrade.

You would lose the go-to of course, that's either a good thing or not, according to who you ask...........

For me, the only thing the ETX 80 does better, is to provide very low power widefield views - how important is that to you ?

Regards, Ed.

I think i will still keep the etx as a grab and go

had the ext 90 and went to the 200 flex definetly better but the ext was handier as a grab and go
