Just a momentary caution. I followed the same path and ended up with a 10" Bintel, with the thoughts of adding an EQ6 later to allow both set-ups. Just don't get your expectations too high. We all know that we won't see views like the photos but I have found that my views don't match the desciptions people talk about. I was hoping for some wow factor, but frankly got more wow factor out of my 20 x 80 binos. My expectations were simply too high. I didn't look through other people's scopes before I bought which was probably a mistake. Maybe people who can see galaxies have better eyepieces than GSO etc etc. This is meant as a word of caution but sounds a bit like a whinge doesn't it.
