When you say I can't get what I want for $800 what do you mean exactly? Do you mean I won't get a motor or computer mount, or I won't get a scope that can handle the range of objects I wish to observe? I am perfectly happy with a manual mount as long as it's an eq mount, and it must be of good quality (I think I'd rather take a hit on scope quality to get a good mount and stay in my price range)
As for astro photography I'm thinking down the track I can put some money into a new mount and any adapters I might need, but I was hoping the scope would be suitable.
Oh and as for bintel and Andrews, I have looked into them but neither are open when I am able to visit (I work 6 days a week and neither are open on Sundays)
I'm so confused
