Thank you everyone for your reply, the information is really helpful (if not a bit overwhelming). I have only just started in this journey but have always had a passion for space exploration and have always wanted a telescope. To Answer pete-81, At first I just wanted a telescope to see planets, nebulae and galaxy's and when looking into it, it kind of changed to AP as well as I never thought it possible to capture these sort of images without spending extream amounts of money but now i know its possible I really want to do both. I originally ordered a skywatcher classic 200p dobsonian as I thought I would be able to do both on that then discoverd that I needed a tracking mount to eliminate star trails (you can guess that my heart sank when I discovered that) so I canceld that order and have been on the look out for one that can do both relatively well but have just been lost in information. If anyone could send some links to equipment that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, I'm looking into buying the Skywatcher Startravel 102 SynScan AZ GOTO as my first telescope and I was wondering if its a good telescope for deep space astrophotography? I'm wanting to be able to take good quality images of nebulae, galaxy's and the planets. If its no good would anyone be able to recommend me a decent telescope around the £400 to £450 price mark please. I will be attaching my Canon 5d to the scope for image capture. Thank you
