Choosing a telescope...

[simplybob]

Hey guys,

I've managed to get my hands on a HEQ5 Pro, so I now need to make up my mind about which telescope I'm going to get.

I'm looking to spend around £250 (hopefully less though) and I'm mainly interested in imaging DSO's. The most obvious in this price range is probably the Skywatcher 200p, however the sheer size of it is making me have second thoughts as I'd probably want to take it to different locations.

So far I've been struggling to come up with any other ideas. I've been looking at some Maksutovs and Refractors but I found they tend to be quite expensive compared to the Newts.

Therefore I was wondering if anyone knew of any other telescopes that I should be considering?

Thanks!

if you want to image dso`s then most people use small high quality refractors, like ED80mm
