  1. Hello everyone, I am so glad I found this forum! For awhile now I have been interested in astrophysics and astronomy, observing sky, learning constellation, looking through my old childhood telescope and now i'm in search for my first "real" telescope. I have settled for a newtonian reflector, but there is a few questions I would like to ask. SITUATION: As a beginner, for now, I am more interested in visuals, but one of my family members is quite positive he wants to try astrophotography (we have Canon EOS 1100D he would like to put in use), would there be a scope that let's us try a bit of AP (just some basic short exposure stuff, and if we enjoy it/get better eventually we could upgrade it to motor kit?) MOUNT: I guess alt-azimuth/dob mount here is not an option and we have to go for equatorial? (i know eq mounts can be hard for beginners, but we are determined to learn) TELESCOPE: I have a few options picked in our price range - could any of these be good for observing, but also to try out a bit of AP? 1) Skywatcher Telescope N 150/750 Explorer BD EQ3-2 (https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-telescope-n-150-750-explorer-bd-eq3-2/p,15330) 2) Skywatcher Telescope N 130/650 Explorer 130PDS OTA (https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-telescope-n-130-650-explorer-130pds-ota/p,25455#tab_bar_1_select) (and just buying SW EQ3-2 seperately) 3)Omegon Advanced Telescope 150/750 EQ-320 (https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/omegon-advanced-telescope-150-750-eq-320/p,61021#tab_bar_1_select) Any advice will help, thank you in advance!
