Ok well I'm leaning towards one of the following:

Redcat 51

Zenithstar 81 with flattener (gt 81 if I dish out extra $500)

Evostar 60 or 80ED

Any suggestions?

Here is the pic of the lens the seller provided 

Hi stargazers!  I want to get start doing some AP.  I need help in finding the right scope for this endeavor.  Looking to spend from anywhere from $1000 to $1500 (Canadian dollars). I have a seller who wants me to sell a Zenithstar 70ED he says it's made in the USA before WO started to use Chinese manufacturers.  Is there a difference in lens optic quality?

I would like to get started dong some astrophotography, but not sure what camera to buy.  Since I will be new to AP i don't want to spend too much on a camera.  Looking for something that I won't have to modify.  Something straight out of the box would be great. Can anyone please suggest  decent camera.

Hi I have skywatcher 8" classic dob. I was wondering what 35mm to 40mm ep would be nice to buy for viewing dso I'm willing to probably dish out $300 CAD for one. Or should I just go for a 2nd hand Pentax xl21 guy selling for $250.  Was also considering the vixen lwv 42mm

Unfortunately I left my 2"  attachment at home and purchased the bhz while I was heading to the cottage for the weekend oh well I guess there's always next time thx for replies. 

I just purchased a baader 8-24 zoom eyepiece and using it on a skywatcher 200 dob.   With 1.25  I can see fine but I go and try to use 2" the image is not focusing even at 24mm. I mostly see a white circle with a cross.  Any suggestions what I am doing wrong, this the first time I've used my scope with a 2" eyepiece.

Hi I just recently purchased a SW 8" Dobsonian.  After assembling everything I noticed that the images through the eyepiece was upside down.  So I did some searching on the web on why and how I can fix this.  I was wondering if this Barlow I found on amazon would do the trick.

Or is there another solution?

Hi I've always been interest in looking a the night sky and seeing the star.  Now I am considering purchasing a scope so I can have a closer look.  I want to mainly look at Nebulae and planets.  Would  a Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P or Sky-Watcher 8" 200P Classic be my best choice or some other scope? Also would I need to add more eye pieces  or a barlow?
