New on here - looks like a great forum. A question for you all - all advice welcome.
I have just sold my Meade LX-10 SCT, which I had for about 10 years. Great scope in its own way but now I want to step up.
My aspirations are to have a scope which meets the folowing criteria:
1.Great for DSO and good for planetary/lunar observing.
2.Suitable for astrophotography (definitely an aspiration at the moment).
3.Portable
4.Great optics and as much aperture as possible.
I have done a fair bit of rsearch so far and have ruled out any kind of reflector. I am torn between a reasonably priced refractor - my first choice below:
Sky-Watcher Evostar 120ED DS-PRO with an HEQ5 equatorial mount
Or another SCT - best choice a
Celestron NexStar SE8
Your ideas appreciated. Budget wise I am not really sure - could go up to £2K ish if required but would rather keep closer to £1,500 or less.
Thanks guys,
Matt
