Thanks for your help Adrian.

My main objective woud be planetary viewing but I suppose general lunar viewing would also be good if it was available.

I guess that I was under the impression that the more expensive the scope the better the viewing would be but I also know that the 180 Mak would be smaller than the Newtonians which would be great for storage.

I have decided to put this purchase on hold for the time being and I'm going to try and get out to a star party or similar to see what first hand what the best scope would be for me.

I find that we are very limited in WA as we don't have many shops to visit so as to view the scope up close before we make such a large purchase
