Ok thanks for your replies!!
I think a 130 mm scope with a sturdy mount, would be the best initial setup for me - as I would like to both visual and AP
I can buy a separate Skywatcher 130PDS OTA as you mentioned!
But is there anything cheaper than a HEQ5 mount, that would also return good images.

Ah thank you for your replies. so many things to consider 😛 , my expectations are realistic though.
Ideally I'd like to do both visual and AP
what would you suggest for my budget?? thx

Sorry people this has probably been asked many times, but I would appreciate some help!
I'm completely new to all of this - I'd like to buy some basic but capable equipment to start with
Budget is around £500-£600
Question is:
Skywatcher Explorer 200p + EQ5 mount VS Celestron Astromaster 130EQ
If I buy the 200p, I'll probably just start out by taking long exposure pictures on it, with my iPhone!
If I get the 130EQ, I'd have enough money to buy a budget DSLR as well.
What would you suggest as my first setup?? How much better is the EQ5 mount compared to the CG3 mount?
Thanks in advance :)
What to buy as a 1st Astrophotoprahy setup ?

Thanks for the advice
Would the iOptron SmartEQ GOTO Mount be a good option for a 130p scope? (it's a lot cheaper than HEQ5)
