      well would like a bit of magnification for viewing planets, so maybe a Mak 127 or the TAL100RS have been reviewing both & seem to be pretty good for the money, am going to keep the same mount as do visual & imaging & cant afford much more at the moment

      Hmmm if you already have a 150p (long focal, narrow field), I would suggest a wide field such as the ED80 or ED100.

      well the 150P is an F5 scope only 750mm long, did look at the ED100 very nice scope bit pricy but not out of question
