Refractor options
I am looking to buy a refractor and have narrowed my choice down to the following 3 options (unless something better second hand turns up on here at a similar price).
1. SkyWatcher ED 120 doublet
2. SkyWatcher Esprit 80 ED Triplet
3. Saxon 102mm ED Apo Triplet
All three come with a similar price tag but obviously the similarity ends there.
I currently own an F5 200mm Saxon newt on an HEQ5 Pro mount and am looking for something a bit more portable, albeit using the same mount at this stage.
I want to use the scope for both visual and imaging (deep sky rather than planetary). I will be using an unmodded Nikon D5500 for imaging and already have a T Ring adaptor.
I live in FNQ so some degree of humidity is usually a factor, as is a moderate level of light pollution at home.
All sage advice from members regarding best choice will be gratefully appreciated.
