with
something like a AstroView 120mm EQ Refractor from Orion with the dual-axis
drive for about $600.

Hi Bruce,

I looked at that scope, which is a 4.7".  That brings up a fundamental
question that a tenderfoot like me can't answer: What is the real trade-off,
visually as well as photographically, between a 4.7" and an 8" scope?

Best,

Rex
