(GeoffG) Which of these three telescopes is best? (For imaging and deep space?)?

I don't want anything fancy, computers, star finder.. But the best one for optics, Identifying far away objects and being able to really get into space. With clear visibility

http://www.telescope.com/control/clearance-center/telescopes-on-sale/refurbished-orion-starblast-6-astro-reflectortelescope
and finally the XT8 you referred http://www.telescope.com/control/telescopes/dobsonian-telescopes/orion-skyquest-xt8-classic-dobsonian-telescope

http://www.telescope.com/control/clearan…
Too small aperture, spherical mirror, not parabolic, flimsy shaky mount.
http://www.telescope.com/control/clearan…
Short focal ratio makes it hard to achieve high magnification without expensive eyepieces. Low mount needs to be raised on a _solid_ table; inconvenient.
and finally the XT8 you referred http://www.telescope.com/control/telesco…
I continue to recommend this scope as by far the best for the money: large aperture, solid Dobsonian mount, good focal ratio and focal length.

The Meade ETX 125PE Telescope Premiere Edition

makes finding and aligning objects easier than ever

before, especially for beginners. Just choose an object

you want to observe and press a simple button. The

Autostar controller for the ETX 125PE will immediately

find the object, and point your telescope to put, your

desired object right in your field of view.

Just imagine you want to locate a deep space galaxy,

easily push a button. Interested in Jupiter, push the

same button. Whatever object you choose you can find

it and see it with the Meade ETX 125PE Astro Telescope

Premiere Editions Autostar system.

The Meade ETX 125PE is armed with diffraction-limited

optics that are so crisp and bright in constrast and image

resolution that this telescope routinely beats out telescopes

of greater aperture. The ETX 125 Premiere Edition has a

BK 7 glass and oversize Pyrex primary mirror.

As good as the Meade ETX 125PE's optics are they are

even better due to the Meade UHTC. This is a series of

exotic optical coatings accurately tuned to optimize

the visual, photographic and CCD imaging performance

of the ETX telescope. Because of these coatings there

is an increase of nearly 15% of image brightness, compared

to standard Meade optical coatings. When you observe

galaxies, stars, and nebulae through your ETX 125PE,

your image will be incredibly brighter.

The Meade ETX 125PE Astro Telescope Premiere Edition

is constructed of strong, lightweight, steel. It has a heavy-duty

field tripod, and chrome plated steel legs. The ETX 125PE

is durable to take to any of your favorite observing locations.
