Hi All Just wondering if anyone can give me a good Idea on which OTA to get I have a SCT 8 in at the moment and I am getting into astrophotography, I have about $1500 cash is it worth holding onto the SCT for now and buying a 100mm APO in a few months? (if Im lucky) or should I spend that cash on a new camera. ( I am using a dlsr at the moment) I have added a photo of my rig, Thanks for any help
