Thanks Brian,

Haha yeah, see when I said am confused over the three
I think I will have to pick one of the options to get in and eventually build up my collection.

The motordrive will add to the cost as well I think quite significantly? I am a bit worried about the overall maintenance and collimating cost and effort for the newtonian.

Will go and see Pete at his shop soon. Not sure if the models listed on his site come along with a mount or not. I was thinking of using my camera's tripod to hold the camera in place and then have the telescope use it's own tripod, that way the whole weight is not on the scope and should turn out to be bit more stable.

Thanks Julian, let me check out Sirius's website.

Cheers,
Sidds
