Upon looking over a lot of forums and images I think I might up the amount a little more to maybe 2500 or more, I'm sure the black diamond is a good scope but I don't think I'd be as happy with it judging from the images I've seen from it.
I'm leaning towards saving up more and get myself one of these Flourite Triplet 110mm APO F/7.0, might be out of my price range at the moment but i Could have one by the end of the year, although if something along these lines where to come up second hand for a nice price I'd have to snap it up
.
I was going to hold out and see what the GSO RC's are like to image with but at the same time I know a good refractor is a proven performer. But please keep surgestions coming in.
