[Aquartos]

Hi All,
Just after some advice to what telescope would suit my needs the best.

I've been looking at:
.: William Optics FLT 110 F7 refractor with Vixen Sphinx SXD or EQ5 mount
.: Meade LX200GPS 10"
.: A good 8" or 10" Newtonian (Meade or Celestron) to put on a Sphinx SXD or EQ6

Main use will be for astrophotography (nebula & some planetary) with casual observational use. Portability would be good, hence the refractor option, however I want to know what you experts would recommend me getting as I'm fairly new to the hobby.

I've been hearing that the fluorite triplet apos are awesome... The resolving power is apparently better than most reflectors on the market. I also hear there's no replacement for Aperture... The bigger the better. More light in, longer focal ratio, brighter images and better bang for buck).

I'm leaning towards the W/O FLT 110 for the fluorite technology in it, however I thought I'd post on here to get some feedback from you guys are using.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Shev
