Recently bought my daughter a 4.5 " reflector for xmas and I'm having a blast with it, it's been since I was in high school (30+
yrs) since I've played around with a telescope. Any suggestions on good quality scope for deep sky objects with excellent easy to
use tracking and a real sturdy mount? In the area of $1500.-$2000. TIA...


A Meade LX90 sounds about right.
