Thanks Guys,
I was pretty much thinking a 10inch Newtonian. Especialy the skywatcher as it comes with the Skywatcher EQ-6 Goto mount

C10-NGT 10 also looks ok to, but I don't think that mount got a good review with that scope on it?
Do you think I could have an 80mm refractor on a 10inch Newt like these and still atempt to image.
Hey Mitch...I've been checking out WO and they look good too...your points duely noted...
Cheers
Ps...I hear ya on the SCT...yea, that will take me to long...The 8inch is tempting, but I'd probably do better learning on the 10inch Newt for what I want...Just asumming there.
Anyways thanks heaps...Untill I find out otherwise...The fact I was already thinking 10inch with 80mmED setup on say a SWEQ-6...and your mention of the 10incher...I'll be going with that at this stage...
Maybey I can add weights to help with stabilization?
IMPORTANT NOTE ... Using a Newtonian, Ive read I will have to collimate (mainly the secondary "flat ) mirror to allow for proper focusing when using a camera. I am sure I will be able to learn this on the Net somewhere...But I was wondering...DOES THIS MEAN I WONT BE ABLE TO FOCUS FOR NOW OBSERVATION ONCE I COLLIMATE FOR IMAGING WITH IT. Would be a pain if I had to recollimate for switching from Imaging to observing?
Thanks again:
All this info is reallly helping. Ive pretty much got it narrowed down...Will use the other forum sections to get into the specifics. I will have to start emailing some contacts I have made through these forums and others.
