RC telescopes are generally  better for photography than for visual use, the large central obstructions reduce the contrast at the eyepiece.

Colliiating them can be the devil's own work, but once properly set, they can produce excellent images. There is a review of the Omegon RC telescope in a recent Sky at Night magazine.

Thanks Tim. 

Sounds like I am better off with my Mak 127.

My interest is caused by an urge to try my hand at some photography and more light pollution is driving me to a goto mount anyway and a nice mount for sale is paired with an RC scope.

Mainly I am visual...

Perhaps an EQ5 goto is the way to go.

My main scope is a 10" DOB, not to difficult to collimate.

Ok guys and ladies

Anyone used one and if so how good are they. 

Please also comment on visual as well as photo mode.

Thanks

I'm quite excited by this, looks like it has been designed as an ultra quick setup, portable goto mount. No wires needed. I think one of these with Skysense and a 6" SCT or small frac could be the business. Sensible price too. 

If it works well with SkySense?

Will it work with Wifi AND the SkySense handset or do you have to use one or the other?

Me thinks my order will be in soon..

After many years in sales I am gobsmacked at just how good these guys are.

1. Help and great advice from those who know what they are on about.

2. In the rare event of a problem they sort it out VERY quickly and well.

3. Easy to buy from and it comes next day

AWSOME

thanks FLO.
