Re: [APML] Best Scope and mount for $2000 was Scope Question

If you've got all those lenses then by all means set your site on a G-11 or
even an AP 600-900 or a Tak mount if you decide you can get more money into
the equation. Those lenses; especially the 200-300mm lenses will get you
lots of targets. By the time you've made images of most of them you'll be
ready to spend more money on a refractor or a mid-focal length newt.
The mount is the key to success in this hobby. It's the main investment so
do it right and you'll be set for the long haul.
