Need a larger scope for galaxies

[Rocket Pooch]

you are good to me Robert. Thank you will i be able to handle it?

Fay, I'd give it a go, if you can handle Roberts 8" then you could progress onto Mark's 11"; mind you its how you mount them that's important.

[Mac]

Excellent advice. PMSL

You started it, you smutty person you 

[Rocket Pooch]

What, honestly what?  Is there anything I said that is wrong? Fay more like I don't know how your mind works.

I did however forget to say that with Mark's payload you need to ensure the mount is lubed well, or you might get periodic error.

[Fay]

Robert & Carole started this!

[Carole]

No Robert, Mark and Mick started it, I just laughed.

Robert & Carole started this!

Wrong !

I think everyone would agree that you started this

[Carole]

Yeah right.

It was starting to get like the pampus grass thread.

It was starting to get like the pampas grass thread.

It would only get like that if you were swapping Robert's 8" for Mark's 11", but as you will only be using one at a time, and at different times, pampas grass will not be required.

[Fay]

anyone with their head screwed on would swap an 8" for an 11" surely

[Tony G]

But Fay, an 11" in an amateurs hands is not as good as an 8" in a professionals. 

So sometimes you get more from an 8" than a 11".

[Rocket Pooch]

I've seen some great results from a fast 6".

[RobertM]

An 11" is probably too much for you to handle, I'd recommend that an 8" is probably all you want to cope with.
