Post Need Help Selecting a new Telescope

Hi all, i need some help choosing a telescope. Previous model was one of those $200 kmart types which needs to be retired. Any thoughts and ideas would be most welcome.

Currently looking at the skywatcher 100 pro ED on the HEQ5 with GO TO which the store owner seemed to talk down in favour of the Meade LX90GPS 08" SCT

Also considering the following:

Skywatcher pro 180mm x 2700mm Maksutov-Cassegrain

C8-SGT 8" Go-To XLT
200mm x 2000mm

C9.25-SGT 9.25" Go-To XLT
235mm x 2350mm

CPC 800 GPS XLT
8" (203mm x 2032mm) Go-To

CPC 925 GPS XLT
9.25" (235mm x 2350mm) Go-To

I don’t mind spending a little extra to the get the more expensive models if it means ill be able to see more with a sharper image. Ill also be looking at hooking up a camera to the setup later on.

Cheers

Peter
