thanks for your responses guys. can't thank you enough for the quality of the information you have provided and the knowledge to back it up. you've just about talked me into the 80mm refractor scope. and the budget is going to be considerably less given that i'm not going to a 10" newt.
definately saved me a huge learning curve on the collimation issue with the weight and distortion.
oh yeah, i should mention that i'm interested in photographing DSO's.
