l think it depends on what your all up budget is, if you spend say $1400 on the Mak 203 x 2500 on an EQ5 by the time you add goto for tracking, buy a camera for photography, add a guide scope or off axis guider and a few good ep's for visual work you would spend $5000.00 easily and this is on a realitively small aparture although portable scope. lt's just my opinion but l would direct anyone getting into this who wants to do photography from the outset on a budget to buy a second hand scope, for some reason second hand astronomical pieces of equipment don't seem to hold value and there are some bargains to be had if you look around.
