Richard,
Actually up till my surgery I was mainly doing visual
work as the GT-one was not capable of imaging.
Normally I do 60% imaging and 40% visual, I really
enjoy the EP view of the heavens. Now don't laugh at
my next statement. I have a little meade ETX-60 that
I got from costco for $99 that I love. I put my 14mm
Radian in it and observe all night. This thing is a
real kick and presents really nice views of Large
objects and small ones alike. I have tried my 19mm
Panoptic in it but, the field of view is just much to
large. I even use a deepsky filter in the ETX for
nebula's and the views are spectacular!!!
Regards,
Eric
