Refractor vs Astrophotography Refractor?
Nova2000 replied to a topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Astrophotography reflectors have faster f ratios and a bigger secondary mirror as far as I know . The tube are shorter so that you can mount instruments and get them focused as when the tube is shorter the focus moves further out . -
Instead of focusing from view finder use the live screen display ,zoom in and then focus on star . If you plan on shooting for long use some tape and lock your focus .

You don't need a Barlow, you'll be needing a coma corrector a canon T adapter. If u can get a good deal on a full frame camera you will easily be able to fit larger objects on your chip . Some do use the 200pds on the heq5 but it is not recommended. The Neq6 is a better match for the 200pds.

6" instead of 130PDS

Hi the local club has a Gso 6 f4 Newtonian. Collimation needs the be spot on . -
You won't be able to do deep sky astrophotography with a 5se , planetary a little bit . For astrophotography you will need a goto Equatorial mount like the heq5 and a scope such as a 130pds , 80ed etc . And a dslr

I observe from bortle6 skies most of the time (lp map says 5 which I don't belive ) m35 can be seen easily from a 6inch scope . I've not seen it in the finder scope from my normal sky . You can see it from a dark sky through finder scope.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum For visual I would go for the 8inch dobsonian as it's easier to use and good time begin with. Dobsonian mounts are much easier than Equatorial mounts for visual use . With this you'll be able to take pictures of the moon but won't br able to do deep sky astrophotography as it requires a Equatorial goto/tracking mount and various other gear . Cheers

Can you see DSOs in colour just with your eyes?
Nova2000 replied to Alexandros's topic in Getting Started With Observing
then I'm sure I've seen some color in a 8inch dobsonian in a bortle 5 sky. this is getting me interested in how the eye functions now . Time for some reading -

I remember seeing a Orion nebula with a greenish tint in a c14 act at a bortle 2 location. M57 also appeared a bit greenish but I doubt what I saw . But I'm sure of Orion's green glow -
