upping the f/ to 16...what to expect?Posted By Patrick Kelly |
With any luck in a couple weeks I'll be moving from D&G 5" f/12 to D&G 6" f/15 of previously photoned refractor. A bridge 5" f/15 scope didn't turn up and the 6" opportunity was made, and close by, and I feel I'd be kicking myself not to snatch it up assuming everything goes smoothly.
The scope'll be on D&G 1.5" shaft GEM (I really DO miss the slo motions of my previous mounts and wish I could retro fit this old thing somehow) for visual use on the high pier plus have motofocus so a few refractorisms are covered. Since this is getting into classic scopes with both feet, are there any other tidbits of info anyone can toss my way on what to expect working this beast. My location is coastal, seeing pretty crappy most times, but not windy; hope to have a rolloff/pushoff down the road.
Thanks for any insights.BTW, for now I'll be saving the 5"er.
