All my scopes are planet killers if the seeing is nice and stable

Interesting idea, I previously had an Istar 150mm F10 which was a very nice scope ....  I now have a TEC 8" Mak Cass and having used a TOA150 and a TOA130 extensively, I think it would take a 7" Apo refractor to match the views of the 8" TEC Mak.  I use mine with Zeiss binoviewers and Takahashi LE and Abbe eyepieces.

 

That's a beautiful looking scope??

Well here's my new planet killer, The Skywatcher Skymax 180 Pro, surprisingly it came with a 9mm and 20 mm LET eyepieces. On my new to me Sabre 2 mount.

Looks great Dave! Dew shield needed maybe?

Thanks Stu, yes plan to get a dew shield for it. 

Waiting for a Vixen type dovetail to arrive, and then I will try my 60mm telescope as a counter weight, the 60mm weights 3.5kg.

Brilliant shot Tony, but I bet it didn't look like that through the telescope on the same night

No not at all!- swam around quite a bit -but stacking the best showed the seeing was good!
