Thanks Barx & Manu, you guys have suddenly put my mind in a spin and I'm panicking because I'm totally lost. I think the reason for this is because I've had no 'hands on' experience with any telescope to draw a conclusion on what really suits me.

Does anyone have any photo comparisons between the Dob & the SC?

Barx, you talk about the alt az mount & deep space will require an equitorial mount, can you explain or where can I find what this all means?

Manu, after viewing overseas prices versus Aussie prices I was shocked but I have found Andrew's easier on the pocket than some others in Australia.

I have another question, I see there are 12" Dobs with Goto, will this type of unit still allow me to use it manual mode, i.e allowing me to go up/down & side to side when I'm not in auto mode?

Will the 12" Dob with Goto still give me flexibility for astrophotography?

Dob users, what are the disadvantages about your telescope?
