Awesome guys thank you for all your reply's!

I think i will go for the 8" on the HEQ5 pro as it has goto which will help ease the learning curve. It had good base to starts some camera work on and a nice mount if i want to upgrade to a more astrophotography scope.

Thanks Chris i will be sure to use that as a guide! deffentley helped with what i needed to know for a good setup!

Now my issue is weather to get the scope from Andrews Comms BD200N on HEQ5 Pro

or the f/5 or the f/4 BT200 from bintell, i understand the lower f-stop will gather more light buy i have also read that it will decrease the sharpness and smoothness around the outside of the frame of the image you are looking at.
I understand his can be corrected by a coma corrector? or would i be beater off going with the f/5 keeping in mind it will also be used for general viewing.

Is the any befent to get the Skywatcher over the bintel? i see the skywatcher 90' finder scope and the bintel does not.

As for power supply i have two 105amp hour batteries from work which should suffice!
Cheers Brad.
