Which one would you buy?
Fairly straightforward question that I'd really appreciate some advice on.
Which telescope should I buy?
Saxon 1141EQMD (Reflector with EQ mount and motor drive) for $337, or
Saxon 804 AZ3 (Refractor with Az/El mount) for $312.
Why those two specifically? I have red balloon credit that I need to burn.
I'm a complete newby and I'm looking for a telescope that will be easy to use and inspire me to use frequently. Initially I thought that a refractor would be best, but the idea of a motor drive so I can watch without bumping the scope seems appealing. I'm not too phased about transportability or photography, I just want something I can use around the house to look into the night sky.
Thanks for your time.
