  1. firstly check these out http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-quattro-f4/skywatcher-quattro-f4-imaging-newtonian.html i had one and liked it very much. 2nd buying a mount from here or http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php is fine. ideally you would need a HEQ6 by the time you add imaging equipment the weight adds up. do you have any ideas on what imaging equipment you are likey to be using.
