Welcome,

I took the road of the biggest newtonian relector and aperture i could afford, knowing i would forgo goto and tracking etc at first, but could save up and purchase eq mounts with goto later and cameras etc etc.

I love my dob, but one of the other local guys here in tassie has a lx90 and it is good too.

For me, i have made the right decision. The feeling of finding neptune and uranus without tracking or goto was a feeling i won't forget!

Either way is a good way. Probably comes down to $ now or $ later. Make sure you ask these guys about the best eyepieces etc. Do you have glasses, do you have a budget for eyepieces and barlows. Planets or nebulas or both?
