I have one "visual" frend, who use mostly big dob's (24" and 20"). We "imagers" need tracking and that's easier using fork- or german mount. We have 36" on fork and one 20" on fork and the other on german mount. I have to say that here the fork does not differ very much from teh dob because of the latitude 60.5 deg. Our big telescopes are in observatories except the dobsons. They are portable and therefore on the trailers.
