Ah ok, so i guess the ballhead is needed, was hoping i wouldnt need one. Thanks.

Damn im feeling stupid atm, how can i attach Orion guide scope 60 mm. as seen here: https://www.astroshop.eu/guidescopes/orion-guidescope-60mm-multi-use-guide-scope-with-helical-focuser/p,51934 To my star adventurer? What do i need, been trying to search for something suitable but cant find it... guess i need something for the dove tail, there is a screw there but what do i need to attach here? All help appreciated or other suggestions. Thanks...

Wow, thank you very much for that post really helpfull!

Thanks for the input (gonna check out you pics), im going to use it on a Unmodded Canon 800D. Mainly for DSO nebulas etc, to be able to get more detail. I mean is there more value in actually buying one expensive filter instead of a CLS for a 1/3 of the price of the expensive ones.

Hey! Been reading around on net and trying to get a grip on all the filters around. What im looking for is actually ONE filter (as they are so damn expensive...) to buy, but wich is the best alround filter for a Canon APS-C 800D camera? Optolong, Astronomik, diffrent versions...UHC, CLS, L-ehance, L-pro etc... Anyone have any experience?

Hi! I just bought a Skywatcher AZ3 for my Star Adventure Pro pack, the store (teleskop-service.de) said its was a working fit. Have someone removed the az part from the tripod and modded it so you can attach the az part from the SA instead? Or should i just run as is, (ofc remove the az part from SA) and just use the tripod as it is?

Well, ordered a redcat 51 instead. Hope it will work out for the better.

Ok thank you for the input, i had the similiar thoughts. Maybe im thinking the wrong way, that a small refractor gets me "better" images then a samyang. All input as im new to this is appreciated!

I had my thoughts on the Samyang also (looking for a second hand one) the images is great as you say. But with the Zenithstar isnt that one delivering better images then the samyang? What kind of guidescope and camera are you using?

Hi! So i have just ordered a sw adventure pro 2, now i need a small refractor for it. Im gonna use a DSLR for the imaging part. So it stands between these three alternatives, i cant decide wich will be the best scope for taking nice shots: TS Optics Apochromatic refractor AP 72/432 FPL53 Photoline OTA : https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/ts-optics-apochromatic-refractor-ap-72-432-fpl53-photoline-ota/p,56139 William Optics Apochromatic refractor AP 61/360 ZenithStar ZS61 II OTA: https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/william-optics-apochromatic-refractor-ap-61-360-zenithstar-zs61-ii-ota/p,67480 TS Optics Apochromatic refractor AP 80/560 Photoline OTA: https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/ts-optics-apochromatic-refractor-ap-80-560-photoline-ota/p,52328#tab_bar_1_select (maybe to heavy for the mount...) Or is there any other small refractor that get me more bang for the buck? its around 800 Euro i guess is max. (wife is already mad)

Sounds great! Appreciate all the feedback!

Any thoughts on the age as I wrote above?

How much do age matter in telescope is a 7 year old scope still ok if its in good shape, or do optics get worse by the years?
