How about this then,

Skywatcher Celestron 6" SCT OTA with Bresser EXOS2 (EQ5 equiv.) heavy duty equatorial mount/tripod from andrews, comes in at $1200, or the celestron nexstar es6 $1400.

Am prepared to spend almost double my original costing to get best of both worlds...almost lol.

If I wasn't camping so much I'd go the dob, however, I need to be able to pack it away whilst camping so that it doesn't get stolen (yes, it does happen out bush). Would a refractor be better?

Still am looking for more observational, but with the ability to do basic photos with my olypmus tg-2. Also, I do have a wife and kids that would like quickness of viewing lol.
