Haven't even bought one yet but the apeture bug seems to have bitten. Having used SLRs all my life, I like apeture. I'm just starting out, but my son at 3 has shown an interest in the moon and shadows, etc, and it's something I've always wanted to do.

Had considered a cleestron 4se, but not sure if I'II be able to see colours.
6se seems a better bet (and exchange rate to US is good) or a used 8SE locally.

I'm open to brands so saxon or other brands I wouldn't rule out, just looking for value for money that I' won't outgrow in 6 months, and show enough details to keep my son interested (rings of saturn, colurs of mars, etc).

If the bug stays, I'm sure we'd upgrade eventually.

I'd love to do imaging, but I'm not sure these entry level maksutovs / schmidts come with accurate enough mounts.
