Re: 14" GOTO Dob for USD$2,700 (before shipping)
Amazing, there was this time that I was very interested in XT8 goto, due to aperture size. But after reading all the posts (including your advice, Gary) I am keeping a look out for portable 5 or 6 inch telescopes. But the day I move to a place where I have a big space behind my home or a big car to ...

Re: Nexstar 8 SE vs Meade LX80
