G'day all,
I am buying my first telescope.
I am looking at a either a Saxon 900 X130mm on eq2 mounts or a Saxon 1400 X 150 mm on EQ3 mounts ,both have motor drive .
The 130 has the motor and hand controller supplied as a package but I have to buy the motor drive for the 150.
The 150 including the motordrive is $200 dearer than the complete 130 .
How does the Saxon brand stack up against other telescopes ?
Also would the 150 give me any benifit for the extra bucks?
I also want to do bird and wild life photgraphy with the telescope
as well as astrophotography.
I have good quality SLR & digital cameras.
To me the Saxon looks quite well engineered but I have not had any telescope experience as yet.
Regards . Derek
