Would I also then have to buy additional lenses? I appologise for my naivety =P I'm trying to learn alot at once haha.
I know you said Orion, but there are also two models of ED80 from Skywatcher. One is the ED80 (around $600), and the other is the BD-ED80 (around $950). Those are Bintel's prices. You can shop around.
