Get a eq and save yourself the pain. If it was just planets then i would go the 10" alt/az dob, though you may be able to pull sort subs with both systems. I guess i would go a 8" newt and a HEQ5 or if i had a bit more cash a eq6 and 10" newt. Later add a coma corrector for dso's and ya set to go. It all comes down to your wallet
, if i was loaded a c14 on a g11 or something hahah would rock.
