Perhaps to go back a step or two...

What's you main aim with the telescope?
Are you a primarily a visual observer, primarily an astrophotographer or a bit of both?

If you are primarily an astrophotographer, what's you main interest?
Solar/Lunar/Planetary/Deep Sky?

Hi Michael,

Im interested in deep sky astrophotography. I would say Im a bit of both i enjoy a good evening out seeing many targets, but as i also love photography id love to be able to take some nice shots of the sights I see.

My budget is slightly more, about 3k.

I also see this scope on TS website.

Im after as large an aperture as i can get, and also as low F/

DC
