Refractor Buying help

[F15Rules]

I'm a refractor nut too but given your arm issue and the sheer size of these babies...why not consider a 6" Maksutov?

I've owned a couple of nice ones and they are the next best thing in my book to a refractor.

There's a nice looking one on UKABS here: http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php?view=88068

This scope is nothing to do with me, but I have bought from that seller and found him to be trustworthy and honest.

The Bresser 152s scopes are nice for the money, but heavy. I've got an F5 152 which is remarkably light on CA for an F5..for some reason it seems to show less CA with 2" eps than 1.25" ones but that might just be because the 2" ones are generally lower power ones..

Good luck with your search

Thanks for all the ideas. Manged to get a 2nd hand 150 for a really good price. I will use this until I decided to change
