Viewing the planetsPosted By Larry Seguin |
I'm hoping that some of you reading this have the experience to help me think through an issue. I've had a number of reflectors, and now own a 12.5" f/6 starsplitter with starsplitter optics. I've also had a number of 60 and 90 mm refractors, and currently own a C-102HD. I have an opportunity to upgrade this refractor to either a TV-102 or a Takahashi 102FS. Here's the questions: Does anyone have enough experience with these two scopes to know if one will significantly outperform the other for high power planetary viewing? And, does it make any difference? Would I be better off sticking with the reflector over either of the two apos? Thanks for any insights you can share. Larry Seguin.
