Hi guys,
I recently started astrophotography and bought the following gear:
- Skywatcher Quattro 250p Imaging Newtonian scope (254mm / 1000mm focal length)
- Altair Hypercam 183c color imaging camera
- Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 Pro Go to Mount
- QHY Polemaster polar align camera
In order to focus on deep sky object, now is the time to buy a guiding package. However, at some point I might buy a small APO Refractor to have a smaller kit. So, I was wondering if it makes sense to use an APO 80mm refractor (or higher) as a guiding scope in order to limit my budget. Will a 80mm high quality refractor be that better for guiding compared to a simple 50mm guiding scope at 150$ ?
Many thanks for sharing your views on this...
