Good morning!
I have dabbled in amateur astronomy for a few years (own an 8" f/6 dob and some plossl eyepieces), but I have about decided to take the plunge and upgrade. What I am thinking is this: 12.5" Portaball with the following eyepiece selection: Radian 6, 12, 18 Panoptic 24 Portability and ease of use are the most important factors and I hope this set maximizes those aspects. All told, it comes to a bit over $5K, but these things are all pretty easy to re-sell if I ever change my mind, so I'm not all that worried about the money. Besides, I think I will keep them a long time. What I am concerned about is 1) Whether coma really increases a great deal between f/6 and f/5 (I have to say it does not bother me at all at f/6). 2) Are the eyepiece choices above a good range or could I do better with some other ones? 3) Any other comments, especially negative ones or things I may be missing. Thanks for any help. rcm |
