Widefield scope for imaging

[adamsp123]

I am thinking of getting a scope for widefield imaging with a DSLR.

I am considering either the SW 66ED or WO 66ED would these be a good choice? or is there something else worth considering that doesn't break the bank.

Cheers Pete

There's plenty of people using the ZS66 with DSLR's but most of them use a flattener (which I see you have so that's sorted ). You might want to bear in mind the ZS66 is now discontinued so unless there's a couple floating about in retailers showrooms then it'd be second hand.

Note that the SW 66 ED has a 1.25" focuser, not 2" .... the ZS66 actually has SCT threads rather than a 2" visual back but that's just as convenient for attaching a camera, and the field width will be substantially greater than anything with a similar focal length with a 1.25" focuser fitted.

Oh, Hadn't noticed the SW was 1.25" so thats out of the running, thanks for that.

FLO has the ZS66...well phone for price/availabilty and that is exactly what I will do.
