Hey Charles,

I think that sooner or later you're gonna have to be
more specific about what you want. From what you
describe above, I'd suggest a SCT. They are fine
all-purpose instruments. Just keep in mind that all
scopes are going to have positives and negatives. No
scope does everything better than other scopes. But if
astrophotography is in your plans a 4" APO is sure
something to think about.

Advice: take your time, keep looking and learning.
Eventually you'll know what you want.

Alan
