I looked around for a 16", but the highest aperture I found by celestron was 11"
This is a little over my budget (for a newbie) . but it looks like a decent telescope. No? |
That telescope is a bit of a toy I'm afraid. Look at something above 10" if you're going for a Schmidt-Cassegrain. Remember, the less light it can capture the less you will see.
