Comments on this scope for a starter

[bigal1]

:)Hi all , just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on the Skywatcher 127 supertrack as a starter scope . This is my first adventure into astronomy and hopefully i would like to do some webcam imaging of the moon and planets , i live in Manchester but a good few miles from the city centre so light pollution will not be too bad i hope . Space is an issue for me at the moment which is why i was looking at a 5" mak instead of a 6" reflector , thanks .

For observing and imaging planets and the moon then the Mak is a perfect choice, for deep space stuff consider a Newt or Dob.

Excellent thanks for the advice , glad to know i'm on the right track .

Light pollution is not a big deal for moon and planets. I live in a city and do all my planetary imaging from my back garden.
