Hi, I currently have a 15" obsession, however it's time to move up to a bigger size. I've narrowed my choices to: 20" Obsession F5 or StarSplitter 22" F4.5. I...
Tracking is very helpful. It permits high magnification and, in my opinion, a better detection and observation of dim objects. I would look into getting the...

I am thinking of getting a Tscope 14" and if anyone has compared it or similar with a C9.25. I just sold a Astrosystems 12.5" Telekit which was a nice scope....
