oh ok thats cool then, so say i wanted to check out more deep space stuff with also planetary views which would be the best for an allrounder? its more of a case for beginner stuff but also for a scope that will do what i want and one that i will be able to keep for years and keep learning, know what i mean?
example if i went a Meade ETX-125PE with a focal ratio of f/12 would that be cool for short exposer shots as well as just the simple viewing and learning of the sky? or would a 10" Dob be the choice to learn and get shots of the deep space stuff, but not so much planetary? sorry if this all seems confusing, but im a bit stuck with a few things and id rather learn from lotsa questions then not asking anything and buying something that i didnt really research properly. plus you guys all know what your on about and i like picking your brains
