Don't think of a folded refractor in terms of a Dob mount or equatorial fork. They are more suited to a classic GEM, or a Springfield mount. On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 10:12 AM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
I saw a nice folded refractor at RTMC a few years back, it did preform reasonably well.
It seems a Newtonian with mirror low to the ground is inherently more stable than a folded refractor in that the balance point will always be high above the ground.
