Border of Canada for location. Found a Orion XT10 for cheap at my American Science and Surplus near here though hear people regretting them ? Looking into the CCD cameras and am now wondering if I can pop it on a XT10 and buy cheap startracker of some kind. Aiming @ deep space start off at Orion Nebula then work on building focusing skills depending on what I get and such for planet photos, I see these decent photos of nebulas then janky fuzzy planets on same telescope so assuming thats a different person same search issue. Seen the Esprit 150 with Trius 814 looking golden though thats a 10.000 $$$ rig started looking into modified digital camera with star trackers at this time until I have the $$$$ to do something more real and am depending on what info here I can get to continue from using such a set-up cause thats probably whats going to happen starting this week, have not seen any moon photos with the digital camera mod ill look into that now. Let Me know what You think cause at this time I have about $600 which is the price of that XT10 though from what I have heard such as being said difficult to track objects and will save more cash to throw down on what can be suggested.

New to this scene have been doing research yet can't really get a good mental compare on image quality vs. price even with having watched many videos and plenty of Google searches and reading. can anyone give me the breakdown/ is there anything "better" than the Celestron NexStar 8SE though cheaper?
