John Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm going to put this into the Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice section because it will get more replies there I'll leave a link to it here so that it can easily be found.

JamesF Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'd guess that many people would suggest something like the Skywatcher ED80 on a HEQ5. It really depends on your budget though. I'm sure the other recommendation you'd get would be to buy a copy of "Making Every Photon Count" first, read that and then decide where you want to go with things.A decent mount really comes first. You could forget the telescope and just use camera lenses to start with. There are quite a few SGL members who use decent older Pentax-thread lenses that can be bought on ebay for reasonable prices. It's fairy easy to find an adaptor that will convert the M42 fitting to the Canon EF mount. You just need one that will preserve the ability to focus at infinity.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy-kat Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 You must live in a very dark location. There is a strong group of posters in the Welsh region. Have a look in here. Might be a group local to you.http://stargazerslounge.com/forum/103-social-groups/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
