Okay thanks for explaining that.
I looked into that TS-PHOTON telescope you suggested, and I realised it doesn't come with a dual speed focuser. I was just wondering how important this is and whether it would be worth it to buy the 150pds instead which comes with a dual speed focuser. Thanks!

Thanks for the great reply, I'll look into that scope you suggested.
You suggested for me to make a dobsonian mount or use an altaz one for visual use, is there any reason why an eq mount wouldn't work as a mount for visual use?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at upgrading my telescope (I've currently got some rubbish small celestron) and for my budget I decided a 150mm (6 inch) f/5 newtonian would be best. I am looking at buying just the telescope, will get the mount seperately, and have a budget of up to £300, although less would be better.
I am wanting to do some visual and also some astrophotgraphy, probably of DSOs.
So far I have found a couple of scopes that looked good:
- Skywatcher Explorer 150pds or 150p OTA (Around £289)
- Bresser Messier NT-150S/750 Hexafoc OTA (Around £250)
Any reviews of these or other reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I think I will go for the 150pds as I would like to do AP and it looks cheaper to spend the money now than to have to upgrade later down the line.
Thanks for all your help!
