![]() For those building their own telescopes. What are the best least expensive sources (stores, shops) of these more than 10" newtonian mirrors? I'm deciding whether to get the 9.25" SCT or build a 11" (or bigger) newtonian mirror. The latter has less obstruction and more light gathering so it should be better than SCT but how come so many people still buy SCTs? A newtonian has no corrector lens so there should be some aberrations. Is this why people get SCTs or is the aberrations easily ignorable? Thanks. Teni |
