8inch Maksutov, f=2500mm,
USD870 (full of metal part)
If I buy 8" inch one, can I see lets say saturn better than with ed127 refractor I asked him and he said:
8inch Maksutov is better than 10inch parabolic reflector if you observe planet,
10inch parabolic reflector is better than 8inch Maksutov if you observe nebula in the deep sky, without any chromatic aberration,
ED127 is better than reflector, Maksutov, if you observe objects on the land besides sky observe.
He also reccomenced me cheap 4" MAC, costs only 120$ (MC1400x102EQ7/AT3 is a kind of Maksutov telescope for beginner,
it is very small and not expensive, USD120)
So can someone please explain to a beginner which one to choose?
(and sorry that I have not been able to learn and read enough to know this all.. the interest to astronomy came recently to me)
With best regards:

The 4" Mak would make a great guidescope (cheap too).
I'm impressed with the prices on the 127mm APOs , would be nice if they added a field flatterner / telecompressor to suit their APOs .... I'll watch that website and see what happens.
Advice would depend on what you are interested in doing with the telescope when you have it.
