I've always been jealous of your refractor, Brent. I think it was in that scope that I first identified the Gallilean moons by their respective brightness/size and color - something I've only been able to do a handful of times since.

Having said that, I have already sold the 22" and given my 6" away, but still have my 12.5" f8 and my 10" f10. Perhaps the order would be: 1. 8" refractor 2. 12.5" f8 dob 3. 10" f10 planetary newt The secondary on the 10" is only 7/8" minor axis, and it has a BK7 window in front ground parallel and flat. No spider. It gives great images, almost as good as a refractor. I am glad I don't have to choose. But then, none of my scopes gets used much.
