Which scope to buy?
Hi. I have had a 10 inch Dob. But found it too big to set up and difficult to collimate so didn't use it much. I now want to buy something a lot more portable and user friendly but with similar power. I have been researching and have narrowed down to 2 or 3 choices. I just wondered if you could give me some advice as to which is best. I'm an old coot with a dodgy back and can't lift too much (hence the reason for selling the Dob). I would like to get into some astro photography as well. The scopes I am considering are Celestron CPC 800 ; Celestron Nexstar 8 ; and Meade LX90. Happy to buy second hand if I can, but will consider new as well. Also I notice the prices are a lot cheaper out of America. Is it safe to get one delivered from overseas?
Appreciate any advice. Thanks. Steve.
