Hi there! Personally i think youb4ll be better with a nenowtian on the 150 / 200 mm range, the 150mm f/8 Orion or Sky Watcher version is an excelent choice for planetary observation, the optical quality is near excelent,and 150 mm aperture will show you a great dealof detail on the planets,you your thinking is deep sky then go for at least 200mm;)Cheers,Lueds Campos
