Hi to all viewing. I'm new to telescopes, but have been fascinated by the skies since the first time I looked up. I'm in a position now to get involved in astronomy. Ive spent countless hours looking at different websites etc. I have decided on a scope PROMAK150-SKY. I will be observing from 2 different locations and so this scope appears to be the ideal traveling companion. Can I have some input into my decision. I am also VERY interested in capturing images from my scope, and that has complicated decision making as well. Do I opt for a CCD or get a DSLR camera? My budget is $4000 or so. Any advise, suggestions from forum members would be appreciated. I would enjoy a wall with some great images of the planets that I have taken and I guess other celestial objects, most of which I dont even know their names.
Incase some of you are wondering, this is not a whim, but rather me finally having the opportunity to get a decent scope and start a journey.
Thanks Jeff
