Thanks for all the tips. I’ll get the old (new) Telescope up and running and see what I get

Thanks I’ll have a look for that attachment 👍🏻

Hi all. Being completely new to all this I bought the 6” Lxd75 10years ago, but due to bereavements and career change it was forgotten about in loft. Now being older and more settled I would like to get into astrophotography side of things. The question I have is, is this capable and is mount good for it if I get a guide scope and DSLR attached? If not am I better upgrading telescope to say a 80mm refractor or upgrading mount? I have tried attaching DSLR but it sits a bit squint with the two screws and Barlow lens fitted to achieve focus. I’m in a position where I can spend up to £1000 if needed. Sorry for all questions, just unsure after reading on no guide ports, dated equipment etc if I should get a new mount or buy a new refractor. I was looking at WO Gt81. I will primarily be looking to photograph DSO. Thanks and I hope this makes sense. Geoff
