Thanks vlaiv sounds like my boat, spend spend spend $$$

Primarily imaging, just found this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/reflectors/skywatcher-explorer-150p-ds-eq-5-pro-goto.html could manage that, I like the idea of Star Adventurer 2i mount but don't want to buy and then spend again later to upgrade. I know this will be learning curve but I have a lot of time on my hands

Thanks all, that's given me some more to think about, but I have noticed FLO sell this kit for £639 the P-DS version as suggested by carastro https://www.firstlightoptics.com/reflectors/skywatcher-explorer-150p-ds-eq3-2-eq3-pro-goto.html with an EQ3 PRO GOTO, I know you all said EQ5 but would they really sell it as a kit if it was no good?

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while now and decided to register, as title I want to get in to astrophotography, planets, nebula, galaxies, I already have a Canon 6D as a keen amature photographer. After much searching on astrobin I have picked out the Sky-Watcher Explorer 150P and Sky-Watcher Evostar 80ED as possible scopes, thoughts on my choice? Now I will also need a mount this is where I am unsure, GOTO mounts just go to objects? or actually track for long exposures? are they any good mounts under £300? Thanks
