in the past the usual response to the what scope does a newbie buy was buy a dob and this response was reinforced over and over again.
now let me say before dob owners jump on me that l have nothing against dobs from what l gather by the talk and obviously the posted photos taken through these scopes that they are optically dollar per inch of aperture quite good.
in more than a few cases the newbie dob owner deceides that he or she wants to try this astrophotography thing only to be then informed that apart from a few bright objects this is practically impossible with the scope they have.
my point is that a newbie needs more information when asking the inevitable telescope question, if a few of you think it may help l will do an article covering some basic and affordable entry level scopes say up to $8000 listing they're ability to view particular objects and the suitability of each scope and mount for astrophotography.
l am by no means an expert on astronomical equipment but a simple guide may help some of the new members narrow down their requirments before asking more specific questions.
