The mount and everything is bang on for planetary, but not that scope...
It's ok for the moon but no so for the planets. You'll be better of with Schmidt or Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope for planetary work.

Well, 420mm = DA*300mm + 1.4 TC, and it's a refractor too . But I'll grant you, your 420mm is definitely bigger and more impressive than mine!

The plus side is, that entire rig cost about £1200... so about a couple of hundred quid cheaper!
PS.... £1440 if I include the KS2

Do you transport it ready assembled or do you have to put it all together and take it all down each time?
It's a faff, but I can take my time and get it set up right and I can tripple check I have not forgotten or dropped something. Which happens quite regular thanks to me deseased brain and clapped out boby!!
