I'm going to be building a 12.5" Dobsonian telescope. For the primary mirror, precision optics, of F5 or better and certified, are roughly $1600. Yet many websites sell Chinese imported mirrors, at prices between $500 and $800. Will the quality of the primary make a huge amount of difference in the finished product, or would investing in a better eyepiece yield the same results?

Looking at the following Web site...

http://www.heavens-above.com/solar-escape.asp?lat=29.763&lng=-95.363&alt=15&loc=Houston&TZ=CST

...I see that Voyager II was launched BEFORE Voyager I. I'm assuming those rocket scientists know how to count, so what's the story behind that?
