Thanks Rom, Budget is $1500 Being able to take the scope on travels is a " "must have" like to be able to see Nebulas Saturns rings,Star clusters such as jewel box cluster ( better than I can see in my 10x50 Bin) Etc. The long term goal is astro photography but that's a fair way down the track. I would like to start with a decent scope and have been recommended the Ed80 on a Eq5 with Goto capability but like the challenge finding stars clusters etc my self
The ED 80 being an Apo really appeals and it's a scope that I would keep for awhile. There is so much to choose from and take into account it is hard to know if I'm making the right choices. A refractor is my preferred option I have at least made that decision.
