Thank you for your advice. What about the Orion SkyQuest XT 8 inches? Is that any good? I have a silly question.. Wouldn't looking through the eyepiece of a Dobspnian mount be uncomfortable in a way?

Thank you Dave for your reply. In terms of good and clear images; I'm more interested in visual viewing for starters and photography can come later on once I'm a bit more experienced in this field. We live in slightly air polluted area, so I'd like to be able to take the scope with me to the desert, where I can have good dark spots to view from. And when it comes to budget, I am looking at anything between £400 to £500. Saying that, I think I should consider the shipping costs of it as well since I live in the UAE and shipping something too heavy can end up costing more than the product itself.. I am open for any suggestion

Hello there, I'm quite a novice when it comes to watching the sky, let alone getting my first telescope. I am very excited to start this new hobby and a thing or two about the night sky! My main interest would be getting good, clear images of the planets and the deep sky objects (galaxies, nebulaes..) I have done some research and found a couple that sort of appealed to me but I need help from the more experienced to make the right decision.. Would the Celestron powerseeker 127 EQ or even the Bresser Galaxia 114 EQ be a good option to start with? Thank you for your help!
