Opinion: 6" Achromatic vs 8" "AFC" SCT

Posted By Charles Kuhn

I'm new to astronomy and am trying to decide between these two scopes. Both are used but in good condition.
I'm mainly interested in observing the planets, moon, double stars and clusters. I also have an interest in photographing these objects. I'm not ready for the expense and time need to do long exposure guiding.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Charlie
