Hi, yes I've been thinking the same - intially a nexstar 4 - but really thinking about the 5 or 6 now. I think Dobs are great but doesn't help me in regard to taking some pics. Anyone out there with any further input - please pass on ...

I'm really new to all this and was even thinking of a good Skywatcher mak 127 model - but really need a goto function. Thanks all.
