Hello Lee,
Thanks for your reply. I did consider
the Orion ED80T

But I thought the RC was a better scope at a slightly lower price?
I hear what you say though, that perhaps it is not a great beginner scope.
The SkyWatcher SWED 80 is significantly cheaper, is this perhaps where I should start?

With the money saved on that I could afford a Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro GoTo Mount

Is that a better place to start you'd say?
Again thank you very much for your thoughts! I really appreciate it.
