First GOTO
Hello kind people. I bought my wife a 130mm Skywatcher Newt on an EQ mount when she told me she wanted to get a nice telescope. She likes it, but hasn't really jumped into the thick of it. I however got hooked hard, and now I love it too. I have learned a few of the basics and can do a pretty rough align and take some very crappy photos. My wife has stated that she likes the idea of the GOTO telescopes (so do I) and I want more aperture (it begins!). So we decided we should save up and get something much more capable. I like the idea of the Celestron C8 S-GT on the GOTO mount. Basically we want to be able to see some nice images of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars etc but also Deep Sky objects (mainly I am obsessed with galaxies) and also be able to take some basic astro-photographs. I am prepared at a later date to go with autoguiding and a guide scope. In your valued opinions, would this be a good purchase for us?
Sorry if these questions are silly and thanks for your time.
Ryan
