Hello there guys/girls, great to join this forum... having a browse through and see alot of informative tips. I was into astro years ago(10+) with a hell basic scope and am looking at getting back into it. I see that the dobsonian 8 or 10 are recommended for beginners but i prefer to buy something that i won't need to upgrade for a while, and one thati will be happy with immediatley. Previous scope was for moon only and i was curious, looking through 'image of the week', are those shots taken from modified scopes or as they come out of the box? I know taken a photo like that is difficult but if i can get a scope with that kind of view i will be more than stoked. Am looking at the Celestron 9.25 CPC 925 XLT... or would i need something like 11 inches up? Im not totally cashed up but i don't mind paying more if it going to perform the way i want.. however if you guys think im totally nuts spending that much then i will follow previous recommendations and go wth Saxon 10" Dobsonian to break myself back in. Cheers for your help and keep the beautiful images coming.
