Hi JS,

Thanks for your reply, I have actually been looking at 2 options;
1. Sky-Watcher 8" Newtonian on a NEQ6 Pro mount - $2349
2. Celestron Evolution 8

I know everyone else will disagree with my second option but I was only looking at it thinking that the Equatorial mount is going to be too complex and will take too much time to set up for a newbie like me.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your reply, I do have a DSLR at home which I use for day to day photography - Nikon D5100, thinking of using this at start.
And yes I'm also thinking about portability as I plan to take this out when I go on camping.

Thanks Martin,
Lots of valuable advice there, I am now thinking of getting the SkyWatcher 8" Newtonian with the NEQ6 and hoping everything will be ok!!

Any other advice will be greatly appreciated
