thank you! But if you would sum it down to yes or no, what would you pick?

Thinking about buying the WO GranTurismo 71 APO (the bundle: gt 71, flat 6aIII uniguide 32 mm and camera rotator). For those who have it, what are some pros and cons? Is it worth it?

Where i live it says i have bortle 5 skies, but when i'm looking at the dumbbell nebula i'm looking right towards the city

Thank you!

Thanks! What if i get a barlow? Let's say 3x. Would i get about the same size without changing the quality of the image?

I recently borrowed a friend's canon 550D and took some pictures with it using a SW 200/1000 and a GoTo mount. Focuser is damaged so images may not be the best. M27 30s exposure 1600 ISO unprocessed M57 30s exposure 1600 ISO unprocessed This is the one I would like to talk about. I would say that as the second night out with this DSLR the image is pretty good! But the problem is that it's a bit small. The thing is, i want to switch from this 8in telescope to a WO 61mm Zenithstar which has almost 3 times less focal distance. Now i'm not sure if the FD is the problem, but if it is do i still buy the Zenithstar? Thanks in advance, George

@AstroMuni can you tell me what telescope you used?

Hey there! i have been for a while now in another city and i've only gotten back to researching 2 days ago. Is there a way i can remove amp glowing? Or it would be best to change the camera?

I would, but today, from my skies, you cant see any planet or bright enough DSOs. best i could do is try to capture the North American Nebula or M57. although the moon is visible. is that ok?

Crap, i have GoTo

Crap, i have GoTo

Gotcha! Thanks!

So then i buy a DSLR for imaging?

Hey, Bivanus! thanks for the suggestions! I will look into them!

Glad to hear she liked it!
