"For a while now I have been looking at buying my first telescope.  I am looking for something cheap and lightweight, hopefully around 300 dollars or less CDN.  For a while I was looking at Dobsonians, but I would like to try astrophotography and when I found out it had no equatorial mount or setting circles,  I decided I should look for something else.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a beginner?  Thanks a lot!"
