Decided to stop buying telescopes?
Hello, this is my first foray into s.a.a., so my question may seem a
bit strange. I've got a 10" Dob from Hardin, and recently had an attack of Aperture Fever. Then I read some postings on s.a.a. that said an 8 or 10" can keep you humming for many years, probably a lifetime. So, I'm almost at a point now where (heaven forbid!) whenever I hear about a StarMaster or a TScope or (fill in the blank), I say -- "you already have a big scope, dummy!". Anyone else come to this conclusion? Actually, part of the reason for this is I got the DSH-10 when it was $395, and I don't want to ever sell it. Also, FWIW, I've got an ST80, an Orion 90mm f/10 and an Orion 120mm f/8.3 Astroview, but collectively have spent less than $1500 for all 4 combined. Elliott |
