yooo...tommy!

A tricky question it is!
I do not have a clear view about the scope you mention, but for me, just seeing the dark sky through a gigantic telescope isn't enough to get us involve into astronomy. we must know how to classify and describe about phenomena in the sky, such the type of planets, stars, or even the galaxy itself.

sebab ni saya minat kat astronomy, tommy. lagipun, berbanding dengan bidang ilmu lain sepeti geologi, archeology dll, it look like astronomy is so vast. hanya tuhan shj yg tahu...

Tommy,

A simple answer is I think there is no one scope that can do everything.  Another answer is some people have money to burn.

As for myself, I'm seriously thinking about a second scope like WO ZS66 (widefield, relatively fast, can become guidescope).  This is to complement my 6in SCT (relatively large focal length, relatively slow at f/10).  These will become my grab and go gear, relatively lightweight where I can dump them in my car and take them anywhere (bila balik kampung ke KB or Desaru).  But sometime in the future, when I decide to retire (too far away still) and build my own house (I hope there will still be dark sites in outskirts of KB at that time!), I'll build it complete with an observatory, housing a 14" RCX or something, to hunt those faint objects.  So that's my line up of scopes that I wanted.

Ada KB lain ke? , Ketereh to be exact.
