Newbie Dobsonian Delima....

Hi All first post,

After reading as much as possible on this great forum, and playing around with possibly one of the worst telescopes ever made I have decided to take the plunge and buy my first serious Telescope.

I am looking purchasing a Dobsonian and have narrowed it down to either the Orion GoTo Trust Dobs, or the Skywatcher Flextube Dobs.

My question is should I fork out the extra for the GoTo System now on say the Orion XX12G or should I get the larger Skywatcher 14" Flex Dob and just add GoTo at a later stage???

Also what accessories should I also be getting, are there any beginners sets of lenses/filters that would be a great choice? I noticed Andrews sell a Celestron Eye Peice and Filter kit...

I am based in the Northern Suburbs of Melbourne and I drive a ute, so carting around a larger Telescope isnt an issue, but honestly 95% of the usage would be in my backyard.



Thanks


JJZ
