Re: Best budget priced deep-sky telescope?

Thanks for all the replies so far . . .
My Dob gives me great views, it's also especially pleasing to use and make 'discoveries' because I made it!
However, I want to expand into worthwhile telescopic deepsky photography and so a decent mount is going to be essential. Following everyone's advice I am very interested in the Celestron C6 SGT XLT even though a little over my planned budget. It would seem it has a good, solid German mount and high quality optics. Can anyone please give me some advice on the pros/cons of SCT's over Reflectors for deepsky photography? I know that in an ideal world a refractor would be the instrument of choice but I think a decent refractor is going to be outside my price range!
