[QUOTE="terence_fdes, post: 1828493, member: 39628"] Check this place [URL='http://www.keralaastronomy.com/about']keralaastronomy[/URL] - I came across it on FB (no luck for any local astronomers groups in Kannur or Kozhi). AND BOY-O-BOY with your kinda budget you can straightaway migrate to Level 2 scopes - The Orion Dob XT6 is a proven beauty, she has a 6" aperture - WOW. All three of the scopes that you have chosen are for "semiserious astronomy". Large apertures with affordable prices are possible ONLY with Dobs (a similar aperture Refractor scope will be 3 times more expensive and a Reflector scope twice as expensive). For Dobsonians, I hope you understand it's limitations too - the XT6 weighs 15.69 kgs, the XT4.5 is 7.98 kgs and the Star tracker 20 kgs. If portability is not an issue then no problems. Follow this path - check as many user reviews as possible - check out actual image views on you-tube etc [/QUOTE]
