DavidJ, yes that does help. I didn't realize that folks used CCD camera's on this scope. It just expands the possibilities.
A lot of people have been telling me to look at an Orion XT6 or XT8 as my first scope, but I really need the portability since my backyard isn't suited for the best viewing. (Light pollution and trees in 3 out of 4 directions.)
I think the XT6/8 have been reviewed favorably, but getting them too and from a darker location might be a challenge.
I need something light and very portable. This scope, for it's aperture and price, would gather more light than an 80mm refractor.
I'm going to place my order tomorrow before the current sales run end.
