If you want to do long exposure imaging a GEM of some sort is best.
If you're only starting out in imaging an 80mm refractor is best.

Ive been into Astronomy for over 20yrs using a 4" reflector but its time to move away from the smaller scopes. I may look at getting a Willams optics 102mm refractor on a SkyWatcher HEQ5 Pro GOTO as i know the insides and out off that mount very well because my brother has one and we take it bush often. Im only buying quality gear no toy scopes, that why i thought about the celestron hd Ill be able to use hyperstar camera setup on it for f/2 images. thanks mate
