I too am looking to upgrade from a no name 60 mm refractor wobblitronic, and have up to $1000 to spend, but if I can get away with spending $600 I will.
What should I do, get the 12" GSO Dob deluxe version with crayford focuser or get the Celestron nexstar 130 slt for $899 both from Andrews? the reason I was interested in the Celestron is for astrophotography, but I still should be able to take photos with the GSO Dob?
I am worried that I will spend money on the wrong scope and end up regretting it, I am slowly swinging toward the 12" Dob, any ideas thankyou.
