Thanks Milan! Of cause I am considering larger scope.milanpicard wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 3:34 pm Nice work, Biggs! Hey, if you go to the desert and all that for these beautiful sessions, have you not thought about also getting some bigger scope, like 12 inch or more? It would be superb, imo.
In terms of light gathering 14-15" would be next logical step. Unfortunately, it will be too much hassle to load/unload the car and set such large scope every time. At this point I am perfectly happy with 9.25". According to my estimates I still have a few thousands targets within the reach. In the meant time I am investigating how I can establish a base in the desert to keep the larger scope there, ideally installed in some sort of observatory.
