I'm starting to look around at larger scopes now, after finding out that it would be nearly impossible to attach DSCs to my 8" dob. I remember hearing good things about Night Sky scopes from their owners, but that was a few years back. Anyone know anything current? Good, bad, indifferent--I just want to hear what people think. smile I'm interested in the 16" in particular. Another possibility is ordering a Swayze mirror to put in the scope instead of their Pegasus Optics mirror. Opinions? Will it be worth the year or more of saving every spare penny I find? wink

At Shingletown Star Party in July 2005 I rented a 16 inch Night Sky Dob from Pyxis Ventures for five nights. I like the scope a lot. Very easy to use once it is set up. Sky commander worked well on it, and 16 inches is very good for observing galaxies.
