Looking for a nice new telescope - I have a 12.5 Dob, so I am looking for planetary images / sharper optics. I have two questions:
1. What is the difference between a Meade Schmidt-Newt 6" or 8" and an Intes Mak Newt 6" (MN61 ) or Intes Micro Alter (M603)
You can buy the mount and scope from Meade for less than the scope alone from Intes
2. How does a Celestron C9.25 of Meade LX10 compare to the Intes scopes- as they are in a common price point?
3. Would a research grade small newtonian (6" ,7", 8") provide better views? If so - which model would I look for?
I am going to purchase a mount separately, so that is not part of the equasion.
I have some decent 1.25" eyepieces, Several 2" eyepieces including a 27mm panoptic.
Thanks all, and Happy New Year
