Starter scope
I have not consider the mount as yet.
EQ mount is universal but I read, it is hard to align but you will need it for astro photo.
So should I go for EQ or Alta Z?
Question on aperture, is 8" sufficient?
The telescope shops are suggesting, I go for at least a 10" Dob which comes in under a grand.
I would like a scope that gives a good compromise between aperture and portability that is it has to come under 35 kilo and yet will allow you to see most of what you want to see!
And I prefer a well known respected brand so that it case I need to trade up, it will not lose its value too much.
So..any suggestion by Manufacturer and Model no?
