What's a good refractor on a budget?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

David, $2000 is a nice budget for what you want, but let me ask you, does this budget includes the astrophotography camera/accessories, or this is just for the scope/mount for now?

Depending on what you want to do, Astrophotography can get expensive, and requires beefier mounts... if taken seriously.
