New telescope

[icftoo]

Hi,
I have an 8" reflector on dobsonian mount.

I am thinking about buying another scope soon.
Has anyone had experience with the
Meade LXD75 254MM (10") SCHMIDT-NEWTONIAN WITH UHTC and although pricier
Meade 10" (254MM) LX90-GPS W/UHTC ?

I am interested in observing and astrophotography.

Any advise, opinions welcome.
George

Hi George and Welcome

There is a get together at Ross on the 15th Of september with most of the Astronomical Soc of Tassie.

A few of us are making the trip down from Launceston.

I am sure a few of the Hobart guys will have had experience with these Meades.
