Orion XT12G or skywatcher GOTO 10" Dobsonian
Hi everyone! I am on a budget at the moment for upgrading to a big rig. I have a budget of $2000 which I should have saved up by late this year. I am currently contemplating whether to get the Orion Skyquest XT12G or the Skywatcher GOTO 10". Both are Dobsonians. I was looking at the skywatcher 10" originally since i really didn't want to go up to the 12" Price range. I have recently discovered the Orion Dobsonian range and the 12" is roughly the same price as the 10" Skywatcher. I need some advice on which one to get.
I want a scope with a lot of power and since i can currently get some decent images with an ALT-AZ goto mount, i don't think it would be necessary right now to go for a full astrophotography set-up.
Which scope would suit me better in the long run?
Thanks, Sean.
