Yeah it is a big learning curve I'm feeling the weight of that decision now, I realise how much is involved in setting it up right and how much time it takes, but I had to decide between what I wanted out of it and I decided this would be the best of all applications for the price and I love the idea of changing to an ed80 on the same mount once I get some experience in astrophotography.
I really wanted an lx200 for the past 10 years but after looking around a bit more the eq mount seemed more suitable and the f4.72 ratio is a bonus with the newt.
Good luck on your upgrade!
