Hey Startrek,
Thanks for the info. I'm after something that is portable/ish as I want to use it at home and transport it to my caravan on the coast where there is very little light pollution and the night sky is mesmerising. So I figured a dob wasn't practical?
Budget is as low as is practical to get something I'm not going to be disappointed with, that will tick my wish list boxes and won't end up being something I will want to get rid of. I really want this to be my/a forever portable field scope. Less than 2k is my target.
You mention equatorial mounts, are these, or can they be goto equiped? Is equatorial the only way to do long exposures.
What are newtonians? Are they any non-cassegraine reflectors? The sales sites rarely mention newtonian... I don't see many goto reflector packages on sales sites.
Do you use a goto system? Is it all it promises?
