Scope selection dilemma 8" with computer or 10" wi
My initial plans were to purchase the orion 8" dob, with a 2x barlow, telrad, and the computer. Total cost about $800.
I just got off the phone with the scope shop. I do not want to become dependant on the computer, so I had not planned on using it until I had Identified at least 100 Messier Objects on my own.
Here is the dilemma. The guy as the shop said, that If I wasn't going to use the computer right off the bat, don't get it yet, and move up to the 10" dob, get the computer later. The 10" without the computer is about the same price as the 8" with the computer
I am on a plan to save $100/month until I have enough, I plenty of time to be tortured by this.
Oh The pain of decision. Any advice?
