Ahhhh, of course. And imaging within the solar system, to video,

tracking accuracy isn't as critical as single exposures from an SLR.

I vote YES for the 16"! LOL.

I'd love to see your images coming off of that thing.

Thanks Alan & Kirk for the kind comments.  Kirk, JMI make a cheap pseudo

tracking platform that you place the Lightbridge on and it tracks

for a few

minutes or you could buy a proper alt/az type tracking platform that are

available for dobs.  It would be nearly as nice as operating a GEM

but think of

all the light gathering ability of a 16" mirror!!
