I think the biggest thing that many newbies need to understand is that asking the one scope to do both imaging and visual on a budget comes with tradeoffs.

A relatively inexpensive imaging setup ie small, gives uninspiring results with visual.

A scope thats good for visual , ie BIG, is not mounted cheaply for photography.

My advice is buy both. Btw the 12" sywatcher flextube is a very nice portable scope for visual work, but its not one to go on an eq mount.
