Thank you all for the responses. I think I will be targeting eyepieces with good eye relief rather than getting a DioptRx. My last prescription showed a change of .5 in the astigmatism in my left eye, the right eye was stable in that respect.
I will have to see what the included eyepieces are like and then go from there, at first it seemed a bit odd that the EP's could be as expensive if not more so than the scope itself but I guess the craftsmanship in creating them is high and the same can be observed in the camera equipment space.
Regarding the astrophotography I will consider it but primarily I wish to observe. I don't own a DSLR only midrange point and shoot cameras and I've read that you can replace the focuser with a low profile unit or, if on a budget, the primary mirror screws/tension springs with longer ones for achieving prime focus to save tube surgery. Alternatively using the eyepieces to acheive focus is it not?
