brantuk Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Carl and welcome to SGL For imaging dso's you really are best advised to use an equatorial mount rather than alt/az mount, and probably a wide field fast f-ratio appo (f6 and below). The sct's are great for imaging planets at f10 and long focal length. I've allways had doubts about single arm forks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid rok Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 So as I'm new to all this what would be a good scope for around the same money that's easy to move and set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
