  1. Hi I wonder if anyone can offer some tips and advice. I like imaging - I use a DSLR at the moment with a 800mm lens to photograph the moon and the milky way etc I want to be able to see and learn more so I am looking into a telescope. I would like to be able to try some imaging using the DSLR that I have and in the future using a web cam so I would like a telescope I can try both at some point. I have watched a few beginners videos and have seen the https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/skywatcher-explorer-130m-motorized-reflector-telescope.html recommended so had settled for that until I phoned the shop for advice where they recommended https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/celestron-nexstar-102-slt-maksutov-computerised-telescope.html Now I am a complete beginner with a telescope, I have limited mobility in my arms and back so standing for long periods of time can be painful so I am unable to do this ....I do have help setting it up but I would like to be able if I had to, but with a heavy or bulky scope I would struggle. I don't want anything that is too complicated hence why a goto was recommended to me but would I then miss out on stuff that I don't know is up there? can you use a goto manually so I could generally just wander round the sky just exploring everything? Would looking from a bedroom window be out of the question...I would have a limited view but I suffer with coldness, so in the winter months I would be happy on a clear night just gazing out of the window to see what I could see. I like going out taking pictures of the moon and the milky way so I would like a telescope that is easily put up in a field or at the edge of the road so I can have my camera for photographing those and the telescope for the planets etc. Do you guys have any recommendations of what might be a good scope to look at ? my budget is around £350 but at a push possibly up to £500 (I would just wait a bit longer to buy it) Thanks in advance for any help given
