They both look very nice, Mark! BTW, which is the new one? ;-)
Is it 10" or 12"? It seems more like a 10".
Have a lot of clear skies and good hunting!

it is a 10"
I was looking for a used 8" but won this one on ebay.
I'm told Hardin made a good scope.

Mark,

One's bigger than the other? Is that it?

Which one is the new one?

I'm re-building my smallest scope right now - my Oak tube 6-inch Newt -
into a Dob and wide-field imager.

The attached picture shows my Obsession 20 set up in my front yard.
Last night my Sky Quality Meter showed a limiting magnitude of 5.6 for that
location - dark enough to get a good view of the Milky Way and make adequate
use of the 20.

George ( I'd get a bigger scope, but I'd need bigger doors) Normandin
