Default which telescope to buy???

Thanks everyone, you responses are bery valuables for me. After I an
convinced the best choice is 9,25 EQ, and also "fits" better my poor
economy.

A permanet observatory is "my dream", I have the small town, I have the
house, but also have "my wife"............... and in my small village are
very good and clear skies. Perhaps some day..... I hope very soon.

I before G11 o GM8, I am thinking in a upgrade to EQ-6

Indeed thanks very much.

Salu2

9.25, EQ mount. Those CPC mounts are like---like---hell, they're like
puttin' an automatic transmission in a pickup truck.
It just ain't raht, heah?
The EQ mount will do it all visually. If you want to stick a Digital
SLR in that 9.25" scope some day, I think you'll find it easier with
the EQ mount. No field rotation issues, some periodic error, but
managable. There are worse choices at any rate.
I tossed my synta mount and upgraded to Losmandy GM8. Now I want to
upgrade to AP. ;-)
Welcome to the hobby. What's in YOUR wallet?

Clear Skies,
Uncle Bob
