In the past I've looked through quite a few big dobs and I know the pleasure and excitement you felt, in the end aperture always rules.

Great stuff Graham. I used to have an u silvered 6" mirror ages ago and that was bright enough with the moon but an 18", have your retinas recovered ?  :-)

Nice one Graham - you can't beat extra inches on those big dobs. Check out M31 with a 35mm Panoptic - it's just jaw dropping. :)

Thanks folks. 

Need to do a star test before I consider getting it coated.
