Hi,

I delayed my decision to get a dob due to my trip to Europe but now I started changing my mind and thinking again what to get. Choices, choices...

1. What would be a better setup for starting in astrophotography (and casual observing):
8" dob with tube mounted on HEQ5 or ED80 on EQ5? The cost of the two setups seems to be similar.

2. Which would give better imaging quality?

3. How much more can be seen with an 8" dob compared to a small refractor like ED80?

4. What are advantages of GOTO mounts for astrophotography except that they make it easier to find the target?

Thanks guys, your help is greatly appreciated.
