[GazOC]

No worries mate, its a pleasure.

Actually, I mentioned the Orion Intelliscopes because they are the only push-to systems I have seen. And the people who own them are very satisfied. So, who makes push-to systems for other dobs?

It was Steve's review of the Revelation 10" Dob that brought me to this forum. (Aren't you sorry now, Steve? ) I haven't seen that brand in North America.

Hi Warthog, you may not have seen this brand but you've definitely seen these scopes, as they are just re-badged Hardin Dobs. Hence why they are so good.

Col, how about going for the 8" model. That way you could buy a set of 8" tube rings and use it on the EQ5 as well. Have a dual purpose scope. An 8" f6 is a good size to have for an all round scope.

I hope we can just buzz off and look at M13 from a light-year away. And that I can take my dog with me.
