I'm just starting out as well. The SW is looking like one of the best choices. Lot's of high quality pics from people on this forum.
I buy a lot of stuff from B&H, and they have this link...

Hope this helps,

The new model is called the SkyWatcher Evostar 80ED DS-PRO. The old one was the same name but they just added 'DS' to the name of the new one which stands for 'dual speed' as in the focuser. The old one was a single speed focuser. The old ones turn up now and then on ebay and they have a gold and white paint job while the new one is black and white.
