Anyway any suggestions would be helpful - budget is up to $2000 (purseholder thinking 1600 but should be able to push that envelope a bit since she got the caravan she wanted! ).

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.
