Help buying first Astrophotog Telescope with budget of $1-1.5K

Hi Guys,

I'm finally taking the plunge and would love some input from the you.

I have decided on a NEQ6 mount but now I need a scope.

I have no real preference for what design the scope is but I like to buy things that I won't need to upgrade for a while (hence the NEQ6 as a first mount)

I am a bit of a perfectionist with my photos so this also doesn't help.

I am thinking of one of the NEQ6 bundles at the bottom of this page might be ok.

My budget for the scope is anywhere from $1000 to $1500 but obviously there is always wiggle room if someone convinces me

I already have a Canon 7D and a Canon 5DmkIII that I will be able to use

Thanks for any input

Matt
