What do you plan on looking/photographing with it? Also, I have experience with a similar one and the mount is gonna bother you alot.

Look into a dob

#

According to astrobiscuit, you should get a long thin refractor. Or if you want to save up more, like @fringe spoke a dob would probably be better.

#

For example, I just found a 4.5" dob for the same amount you stated.

#

But that was in my country

#

I don't really like the idea of a long thin refractor, a 130mm 650 dob is gonna beat it any day

#

Look into used market

#

Like I found this is the U.S.

#

Equals the same amount HUF

I recommend using the website widescreen-cnetre.com, has a huge huge selection from accessories to what ever 100000€ telescopes. Althought if you dont live in the uk u have to pay costums.

centre.com*

You can't do both sorry

#

You have to choose between visual or photography

#

Ok

#

A dob then

If @novel gust wants to do planetary, it's possible to do both.

#

Oh planetary yes

#

That works just fine then but you have to pay costums what no one whants to do.
