Hi Graham and welcome to the forum. It was my choice it would be the 200P as this aperture at for the money is a hard one to beat. The difficulty with many equatorially mounted scopes at this price point isn't the scopes themselves, but the mounts that are in my view a bit too twitchy. Every time you touch the scope be it refocus or to manually track an object will cause the scope to bounce around, only to have repeat the process because the object has almost moved out of the field of view - particularly acute when using high magnifications. The dobsonian alt-azimuth mount (though basic in design) appears to afford the 200P more stability and is therefore easier to use.

Clear skies and enjoy the forum

James
