Budget set for astro gear would still like advice please?


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the input from my last post, however the budget is a firm 7.5k so I have to decide whether I want a very nicely specced roll off or a very nice mount.

If you had 7.5k to spend on a full set up how would you do it and why?

My thoughts are: 

Home Observatory - 8' x 8' with all electrics and build £4100

Mount is AZ EQ6 - mainly visual with a nod to EAA £1300 new or possibly snag one SH for £1000

Scope MN190, plus either a long focal achromat for planets, lunar or a SH SCT 9.25 etc - possible cost around £2000 new maybe less if negotiating!

On the right track or way off the mark?

As always many thanks for the input people.

I think I have answered my own question guys, apologies for the deliberating - I just want to make sure I'm on the right track.

After speaking to several friends and astro buddies, the right choice is the one that feels right for you!

Thanks for reading.
