Hey. So I want to get my first telescope, and I've landed at the skywatcher 150p eq3-2. I know the telescope might be a bit heavy for the mount, but I won't be doing any astrophotography with a dslr. From this website: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/reflectors/skywatcher-explorer-150p-eq3-2/action/reviews/ I can see that the eq 3-2 is cheaper than the goto version. What is the difference between those two mounts? I've also heard that eq mounts can track the targets. (not goto). Is this computerized? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the help

I understand. But refractors suffers from chromatic abberation, right? I'm pretty new to this stuff, as I've never really owned a telescope. If I'm going to buy a refractor. Would the Orion starseeker IV, work? Thanks in advance.

Hey. I want to know which one of these will suit my needs. I want to look at planets + dsos, with go-to tracking. The aperture is better with tmthe slt, but is the mount worse? I may use my phone to take pictures, maybe eventually invest in a cheap dslr. Would this work? For long exposures, the mount needs to be eq, but that's currently out of my budget. My budget is around 600 $ without shipping, since the VAT here in Norway is pretty high (25 %). The nexstar 4 se is around 5000 nok (around 500 $) on Finn.no (ebay for Norway). Which one of these should I get? Or is there any scope for the same price?
