Hi Sitt,

Have a read of my beginner's packages recommendations here as it shows just what you should really get to get you started, especially since an HEQ5 mount can be fiddly to get started with.

The prices for the scopes have gone up slightly, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much scope you can get (and the accessories) for less money than you are looking at for the MAK/HEQ5 combo you have listed.

PLUS! if you go for the goto dob version, you can dial up and track HEAPS of things including the planets and moon but also see LOTS of deep sky stuff with an 8" scope.

Worth a read...

Cheers

Chris
