hi again guys , after my last post asking ur advise on the nexstar 6se, iv been waiting for it to come back in stock , this of cause has given to me having some time to look at other scopes on the internet and im getting more confused by the day, i quite like the look of the Skywatcher Explorer 200P eq5 goto, can anyone give me the advantages and disadvantages of the too scopes so far iv worked out that the 6se is more portable, the 200p has a bigger aperture, the 200p come with the eq5 goto (i understand the eq5 is a good mount for astrophotography which is something i may get into in the future) any comments would be good thanks guys:) or maybe i should just ask you if you had £1000 was new to astronomy, want a scope for non photograpy to start with, what would you guys buy ?
