2nd scope for Skytee mount - reccomendations.

[Telescope40]

Hi All. Recently aquired a Skytee 2 mount. Just tried the once so far and mightly impressed.

This will be a minefield I'm sure but I am now toying with the idea of mounting another scope to complement my refractor. A Celestron ED100 F9.

Any reccomendations ??

Initial idea was probably a Mak - 127/150, Vixen 110 L et al.

Would this be barking up the same tree as my ED100 ?? Budget would be about £200 - probably second hand.

Bearing in mind I already have a 10in LX90.

Any comments appreciated.

Something fast for wide angle / deep sky ?

A 6" F/5 newtonian will show a lot under dark skies.

At last years SGL star party I had a dual scope setup on my alt-az mount. It comprised an Intes 6" F/5.9 mak-newtonian on one side and my Vixen ED102SS F/6.5 refractor on the other. Had some fun with those scopes !.

John I have the original SkyTee mount and have my 4" APO on one side and a Skywatcher 150PDS f5 Newt on the other. They make a great match.

I usually have the 6" Newt for DSOs and the 4" frac for planets, moon and doubles.

Thanks for the replies. 6 inch Newt F5 seems to be a good way to go.

Credit card watch out !!!!

Thx John
