Hi Gaz,

It certainly was a beauty. 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? (My favourite so far)

if theres anything to turn a dedicated Dob user.........it's
astrophotography, my next choice is between a 16' Dbo or a 12' LX200.
It's when I see images like that I'm tempted away from the Dob! Not
for long thou!!

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
