the other thing to say is that the telescope will be used at home 99% of the time so portability is not of huge concern. if that helps get a better scope at the expense of being lighter.

thank you very much. that kind of covers most things about the bresser. is there any other unit you would recommend. the photography is a second thing and I'd rather get a better telescope that didn't have photography capabilities if it meant compromising on quality. I'm sure the photography isn't as simple as plugging her cannon digital slr into the lens.

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a telescope for my wife who has started to show more interest in star gazing over the last year. After speaking to a shop they recommended the Bresser Messier NT150. Top reasons being that it has auto tracking and also the ability to use a camera for photos. Now I didn't even know the photo thing was an option and my wife being a photograher would be over the moon with that sort of thing. So basically, is the NT150 the best thing for her, is the NT203 even better, or is there something guys and gals would recommend over both of them? I'm hoping to get something for Christmas, but it's her birthday in January so I can wait for delivery if needed. Thanks for any advice Squiza
