Good day!
So far I have been trying to set up my little observatory with a budget of $3300. I have been doing my research and most of the population says Refractors are better because they are cheap and others Schimdt-Cassegrain. I want to have a very good setup where I can enjoy for many years. I am still undecided and a little lost of which set up will work better for me. Here my options:
Option 1 ($3,600) :
1. Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount,
2. Orion 2" Zero-Profile Prime Focus Camera Adapter,
3. Orion Awesome AutoGuider Refractor Telescope Package,
4. Tele Vue 0.8x Reducer/Flattener,
5. Orion ED80 80mm f/7.5 Apochromatic Refractor Telescope,
6. Orion StarSeek Wi-Fi Telescope Control Module, Serial/USB,
7. Orion Dynamo Pro 17Ah Rechargeable 12V DC Power Station,
8. Orion T-Ring for Nikon Camera
Option 2 ($3,400) :
1. CEGM DX 1100 (

(this one includes the tripod and the telescope, but no room for accesories for the moment)
I already have a Dobsonian XT6 for about 10 years now, but I look forward to start using more modern equipments for astrophotography, imaging of DSO.
I will be deeply thankful!
