Skywatcher_200P_EQ5_GOTO

[Philkib]

Hi,

I'm thinking of moving up to the above scope and mount, my question is this, I'm wanting to move in to Astrophotography and would be interested to have opinion it the above set up would allow me to start me off. The camera bit comes a bit later on, I cant make my mind up with DSLR or CCD so will concentrate on the scope and mount part of things first.

Thanks in advance

Phil

I am not an imager but would suggest going neq6 instead - one camera etc on the 5 may not cope

Hi Phil

I agree with Codnor - if your budget allows.

Telescope suppliers usually suggest a mount 'only just' capable of doing the job.

I would also consider the 200pds rather than the 200p if you will consider AP in future

If you are looking at venturing into imaging then the 200PDS and an HEQ5 would be the ideal entry point.

Have a look on FLO at the celestron C8-N, more or less the same scope but on the equivalent of the HEQ5. The EQ5 Will only take the scope plus about an extra half kilo.
