I want to replace my current imaging scope...a 6 inch MEade sn..
I have thought about a decent refractor but find my leaning is to a celestron 8 inch ota or their 9.25 inch ota...approx $1700 and $2700 respectively.
Firstly should those scopes be disregaurded in favour of a good 4 inch refractor or bigger...if so which one.
AND is it better to go for the 9.25 at an extra $1000
I do like the mak idea but I gather a good one of similar app is pretty expensive.
ANY ideas greatly appreciated.
AND not interested in planetary work just deep sky.
I have an eq6 by the way so it should manage most scopes offered for consideration so please dont tell me get a paramount mount before I get a better scope.
