Wow! What a great thread.
I've been in the same situation for the past few months, wanting to upgrade my scope. Currently have a 70mm Refractor that my partner and I bought earlier this year. What was intended to start out as just a casual thing, has now really turned into quite an obsession and I well and truly have caught the bug!
What I want in a telescope has been very similar to what Jowel wanted, and have had my eye on the 8" Newt with the HEQ5 mount for a while. But as always, there are so many options out there that I have never really been 100% sure what to buy - whether SCT or larger Refractor or DOB.
However, after reading through the replies here my mind has certainly been made up and will continue saving away and hopefully be looking through this scope in a few months time!
This is my first post, but have been reading through the forum for a while now and I've learnt so much just from reading. Look forward to speaking with you all more!
Evan
