I've been using an old (very old) tasco 60mm refractor for the last 6 months and I'm looking to upgrade. Totally addicted to astronomy and the images that my current telescope is producing just isn't satisfying anymore.

I've done plenty of research of various telescopes and been into a store to speak with an expert and it just seems like the more I learn the more confused I become! I thought I wanted a cassegrain 127mm but now I've learnt that for photography I might be better off getting a reflector (and in fact the mount makes a huge difference too!)

I basically want to be able to view objects in the solar system with clarity, and also be able to see galaxies/nebula too. I plan on using photography too, so hook it up to my computer somehow (SLR or CCD?)

Any advice would be appreciated.
