Can anyone please comment on

(1) The cooldown times of the LX200R 8" vs 10", when taking them out from an apartment at room temperature to outside, in winter and summer?

(2) The maximal TFOV possible with these instruments. I.e. what is the size of the opening in the backplate and focuser? 2" I hope?

thanks!
