Hey mate,
i went down the path of not enough research and ended up unhappy with my purchase. I originally bought a 10 inch dobsonian. Great telescope but then decided i wanted to do astrophotography. so i then bought a Neq6pro mount and orion awesome autoguider. This is a pretty good setup although extremely heavy and with my poor old back trying to get the scope on the mount etc was killing my back.
I now sill use the NEQ6pro mount and have a skywatcher ED80 with the orion autouider on top. Its so much easier to hande and i find i get the gear out way more often even on work nights.
Recently ive imaged galaxies from my front lawn with street lights i the way etc. so i know its a good setup. but definitely things to consider are weight and portability.
one last note dont buy a nikon Dslr.. they are great cameras but the software support on canons is way better.
Ben
