SkyWatcher Skymax 150 pro vs Celestron Nexstar 6SE

[saaj]

Hello, my first post. I would like to get one of these scopes. I would rather get the SkyMax. I would like to know which one's better. I would take some pictures with my 600d and am more into DSO and Planetary viewing. Which one would you suggest?

I feel the 6SE would be slightly better for deep sky, but you will struggle to do astro imaging with either scope

Either would be good for planetary viewing, I'm sure, but neither is going to show you a huge area of sky if you want to look at DSOs. I agree with Jules that if DSO imaging is your bag then these two scopes are probably not the best choice.
