Some great Infomation sent back here, appreciate it so much, Thankyou all

I have a camper conversion so would be travelling to use it, mainly remote places, not so much as a garden set up in use every regularly. was after something to play about with visually and for EEA and seen that was f5.9 and thought it would work. Appreciate your feedback

How would the mount mentioned perform for EEA?

No reason in particular, just thought I’d get the biggest aperture for the visual side

Yes I’ve looked at the see star and vespera but would like the option for use visually aswell. So would a 2 inch tripod with the ioptron mount be adequate? thankyou for your input

Looking to buy me first set up. would like something to start off with visual and progress to EEA. I like refractor scopes having owned one in the past, and the virtually maintenance free they offer (no collimation etc) looking at buying the Altair starwave 152 along with the ioptron AZ pro mount. Would this setup allow me to move onto EEA when the time comes? Thankyou for any advice

And at 4K 😱

That’s great Thankyou very much

Thankyou

Funnily enough I grew up in ryton lived there for 20 plus years haha! Stargate to be precise! Yea it sounds good, and it will give me a chance to see the scope in person

Thanks Peter! And I will take you up on that offer! I’m in Blaydon myself! Are you part of a society? My work takes me all over the north east, often Hexham! You must have decent skies up your way for light pollution

Cheers mate

Yea sorry to disappoint! Haha

Haha! Sorry mate I’m Newcastle UK, Sunderland is about 20 minutes south from me

Thankyou for your reply! The one near me seems like a private men’s club with few members, the one a short drive seems to be active and full of energy! So I am leaning towards the further one
