For quite a while now I have been been forced to observe with a cheap
telescope which my parents bought me in my earlier days. Frustrated by its
cheap (probably plastic) optics, I have finally decided to buy a good
scope. From what I have read I think that an LX200 is probably the way to
go. I am streching my budget here, but I was thinking of either the 7" Mak
or 10" SCT. My primary interest is planetary, but I would also like
something versitile enough to do deep sky and astrophotography. Does
anyone have any side by side experience with either of these? Which one
would you advise? I would appreciate any recomendations or cavets. Thank
you for yor time.
