hmmmmm,
asimov and cahullian have put forward other convincing arguments. Guess the best thing to do is to check out all different equipment and try and make a hands on approach.
From what I understand...Ive got three options for $1000:
1. A Dob - a big aperture which lets me see more objects and clearer. Downside - can be frustrating at times trying to find objects, and is harder to track objects due to mount. Not the best for possible photography in the future.
2. A Goto - easily find and track objects. Smaller apperture, so I wont see as much through scope. Question: Are objects seen through a smaller aperture smaller or fainter or both? Best option for photography in the future.
3. In between - Smaller apperture than a dob, but larger than a goto - but on a eq mount without motorisation. Makes tracking objects easier, but doesnt make finding objects any easier. Will be ok for photography in the future.
Is my summary correct??
