Imaginary

Thanks for you reply I saw a comment that Mak`s and the Schmidt Cassegrains can have some issues with dew. During mid winter I have temperatues pushing -35 celsius and very dry air. Do you have any experience in similar climate with your 5SE?

I`ve read Olly`s comment and I`m looking at the Evostar 100ED now The weight it self is not much of an issue (within reason of course), I am thinking more about the voulme of the kit when it is packed for travel. When im traveling my hometown during winter I usually have a a lot of skiing and mountaineering equipment with me, so i dont have all the space in the world in my car. Thats on of the reasons I have looked at other options than a dobsonian Thanks alot for you reply! I really appreciate all the response I`ve gotten

Thanks alot for you reply (and everyone else who have replied to my question)! Yeah, I also saw a comment that refractors are good in areas where dew can be a problem( I live in Norway), so im leaning towards a refractor now! Do you got a reccomendation for a couple of decent eyepieces that would work well with the Evostar 100ed? I see that it comes with a 28mm occular. I`m mostly interested in watching the planets, the Moon and galaxies Again. Thanks!

Of course! I forgot I`m most interested in planetary observations and the Moon. And would also like to see some of the brighter galaxies.!

Hello everyone! I have had a life long fascination of the night sky and space and I have been watching the night sky with my binoculars for the last couple of years and now I think it is time for me to upgrade to a proper telescope I have looked up information online, watched videos about various telescopes(and eyepieces) and attended a "introduction to telescopes" course but I still find it hard to choose the correct one for me. I`m looking for a portable telescope for visual astronomy. I have read on forums that a dobsonian is a good choice for beginners, but I`m looking for something a bit more portable. I live in a bortle class 7 area but I regularly travel to my home town wich is a bortle class 2 area, so im looking for something I can easily take with me and fit in my car. What set-up would you choose for a budget of around 2000$ ? Thanks in advance
