Hi Yun Dog,
I recently bought an 8" (200mm) Black Diamond reflector on an HEQ5 (this is Skywatcher by the way) from Andrews Comms for $1349. Check out my
post for a pic of the beast.
Here is an example of what a DSLR can do through it too. (my second ever Astro Pic)
Slightly more than your budget, BUT, VERY easy to use and set up, the scope is big enough to get details on planets and also has mounting capability for DSLR's for pictures etc You can use a webcam and get decent planetary shots too.
Well worth the money and this is my THIRD scope, but the best in my opinion. (even considering my $1500 12 inch dobsonian).
Can't go wrong with this baby, its almost good enough for me to contemplate selling the big dob as its now gathering dust.
See what you think
Cheers
Chris
