I suspect it's not so much the scope you need to save for though, it's the air fare to La Palma. Those steady skies are probably what made the biggest difference BTW have you seen this one?

GAZ Rob, If your interests are only photographing the Planets or the Moon you can have your cake and eat it too with a Starmaster Goto/Tracking Dob or use a tracking platform . I took the Mars image in the URL below with a 14.5 Starmaster Goto http://www.astromart.com/messages.as...d=106909&page= Thanks, Wes Higgins |
