Hi,

About to take the plunge, have read too much now on which newbie scope, and have now confused myself lol.

Bottom line is, have approx $700 to spend, need it to be portable due to outback trips in the bush. Have looked at 2001 saxon eq5 (2nd hand), celstron nexstar127slt (new), Celestron NexStar 4SE(new) I think the 8" dobs are out due to not having a table or flat ground to mount them on;

my travel compartment will be a set of outback drawers in the back of an 80 series land cruiser. Do not mind dis-assembly and assembly.

Mainly looking at planet gazing at this stage.

Cheers

Paul
