I agree with Al, with regard to getting more aperature, however with the
money I saved by staying at 12 in., I was able to buy a lot of other stuff
to go with it, like a CCD camera, computer, and observatory. I could have
swung the Meade 16 in, but thats All I would have been able to get. Go to
the 12 in like I did, youll never regret it, and youll be ablre to buy
something to go with it.
