Thankyou…
By the sounds of it, the 80mm Equinox is sounding good. I’ll take all the quality I can get.
Because I will not have much money left I was just going to get one of the sky watcher EQ5 mounts with the option to buy a dual motor kit further down the track when I get a camera.

I am starting from scratch and hope to just enjoy using it. like I did my tasco 60mm as I slowly acquire the rest of the gear.

I’ll just take photos of whatever is best in that field of view and learn how to adapt. I love everything in the night sky so don’t mind if I miss out of some things as there is just so much. I like the sound of this wide field being forgiving.

Pluss I love using Binos because of the wider field of view...scanning the sky will be much easier with a unit like this I guess...I was never any good at it with my Tasco 60mm

There is one concern I have, that I just read in a review about the Sky-Watcher EQUINOX 80mm APO

Apparently there is no fitting to mount a finder scope???
