As much as I love my 8in Dobsonian, I think it's time to get something a little more portable.

I have a budget of around $1400 (more if I sell the dob) And would like something with GoTo and that I can add an Autoguider and do some Astrophotography.

From reading a few forums, I've seen the suggestions of the Bintel BT200 HEQ5 but at this point it's a little out of my budget unless I wait a couple more weeks. Is there any other suggestions out there?

I had considered upgrading the Dob to a GoTo, but it was going to cost near on $1000

:thanx:

I've been keeping an eye out on the classifieds recently. Might have to buy the trading post on Friday and check them out.
