Optex 5" Maksutov Cassegrain $1250

The Celestron sounds good value, but that maybe later on.
Thanks! I think I can see that I should leave any thought of photography to some later stage... it's not a simple add-on situation by the look of it.

I think I will go with the 8" GSO dob, as it sounds like pretty good value for beginning astronomers (this includes my gf and our 5yr old). I found Andrew's web site but... it seem's they have no ability to handle online orders?
