I still stuck in the dilemma, I like the idea of buying an upgradable piece of equipment though!
I think to keep the interest going and keep it easy to handle.
Like
Nexstar MAK127 SLT from Andrews Com, that's going for $1000
or
Maksutov-Cassegrain MAK127AZ-GT from Andrews for $899 with go to.
I am starting to worry about having my family carry something.on a plane, I can't be sure it'd get looked after the way I'd want it too, but I'd bare the ramifications of the flight...
I can always amass accessories as I go, but If I drop more than $1k upfront, the Ministry for Finance won't be happy. Bearing in mind, $1k is more than I've spend on a hobby ever, but I feel it's going to get use.
I will have a look at the Meade etx125, I have not explored Meade too much so far.
My worry about the car is if I am travelling, I got very easily have the wife and 2 kids in the back with some camping supplies. I like the idea of an 8" Dob just worried about practically and how much of a slacker I am.
