Your choice of scope will depend on your observing prefs. There is no hard and fast rule but the received wisdom is that the Newtonian is good for general viewing and the Mak-Cass is designed for higher power viewing of the Moon, planets and stars. They are also a good choice for astro imaging.

As a visual observer my own preference would be for the 130. This was my first scope when I started in astronomy as a hobby and although the scope itself was fine I had trouble getting used to the GoTo set up and ended up changing it for an AltAz mount.

Hope this helps.

Any decision on the scope?

There certainly is. I bit the bullet last Wednesday and went ahead and ordered the 130 . 2 days later it arrived! unfortunately though there hasnt been a clear night in bristol since then so havent had a chance to test it out. that didnt stop me setting it up in my living room though, and in terms of build quality/ ease of assembly i cant fault it yet. im also awaiting delivery on a barlow lens and moon filter so hopefully they'l arrive in time with a good clear night and i can finally get out there and enjoy the night sky in a bit more detail.

Now you know why scopes are nicknamed cloud magnets!!!
