I did read about the optical misalignment with the LX200's while i was surfing astro sites tonight.
This is getting a bit confusing as i know very little about telescopes full stop, so it's getting harder and harder to understand the differences between models.
I think i should surf around and compare combinations and the images that they take of the same object.
I am itching to purchase a set-up and start experimenting with exposures, and settings.
I need a scope that can be transported and setup reasonably easy, as i have way too much light polution here in the burbs, and will be driving bush often.
Thanks for all advice given, i'm off to research some more astro sites to see if i can compare images with various set-ups.....cheers.
