Imaging scope recommendations
pfarrell267 replied to pfarrell267's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
Thanks again. I think will probably go for the Esprit 100 with Flattener. A bit more expensive but my mount can handle the weight, and the extra aperture over the SM90 is probably going to be useful. And it does, as you say, have a very good reputation. -

Thanks for that. I'm very tempted. How do you find the focuser? And do you have any information on the imaging circle in case of future camera upgrades? I'm much newer to Cumbria than you are. Just 3 years for me. Moved over from Leeds. Skies better; weather worse -

Hmm. Dual rig probably a bit complicated for me as a relative beginner The Esprit 100 is on my short list so the recommendation is helpful. Have you used one yourself? -

Thankyou so much for your reply. Apologies for the delayed response. A fellow Cumbrian I see! Hadn't looked at the Stella Mira. Looks like very good value for a triplet and I will definitely consider. I see you own one. My only issue would be that I have 1.25" filters and with the 0.8 reducer/flattener at f4.8 I would presumably get vignetting with these? -
Currently imaging with an Evostar 80ED with 0.85 reducer/flattened and an ASI 1600mm pro. EQ6- R mount. Happy with the FOV but thinking about upgrading the scope. Mainly interested in larger targets such as nebulae. Backyard is Bortle 4. Budget is up to £3000. Any recommendations?
