Wish I had heard the advice buy the size you want had 3 114mm scopes not been happy with none have ordered a 10" dob to pick up sometime this week from le shop.

@PROVOKEDRAGE it can be a tough choice i always say get a telescope twice the size you think you want,or you end up spending lots of money and upgrades are not cheap,i look forward to seeing your 10" my freind clive as a 200p auto track dobsonian and its a cracking scope he got some great video of mars from my house with a web cam

How well does your oxygen filter work for nebula's?

I've got a 12" Orion dob and am thinking about getting an oxygen filter, but what real difference can you see?

[todd8137]

@Liquido562 with the 12" works 100% on the orion neb ,with a 2",32mm,uw 1.25" ep with the OIII FILTER it almost fills the whole ep the big bubbleof gas cloud is brought out in a green tinge i could resolve yesterday all 5 stars no probs it almost looks 3d i do have dark skies here other neb, crab,. dumbell, m57 all are better m57 is really nice with this filter it looks thicker and less like a smoke ring ,it can be very aggressive some times on the smaller stuff

[todd8137]

@Liquido562 also its no good for star hopping once on target then put the filter in line ,i also have a uhc s filter its less aggressive than the OIII filter and more subtle the uhc s is a great filter also to have in the box,you 12"Orion is a great scope and i no you will see things i do, mega for splitting doubles ,clusters ,dso`s full atop are great to hunt galaxies are the same get around Orion and Virgo really give the scope a work out ,if it was me i would get the OIII
