Hello All,
as a rather disappointed astrophotographer with an RC8, I'd like to make a change. I am disappointed because when I carry it by car to my observing site, it regularly needs recollimation of both secondary and primary, with waste of night time imaging.
The AT10RCT and C925 fabric promise to solve the issue by being more mechanically sturdy (the former), and needing to rarely collimate it and only the secondary (the latter). The RC, moreover weighs more then the C925, but the RC has got other nice things like being open etc....
The price in Europe is the same for both tubes, so this is not a factor to consider.
Question:
Having a mount like the Takahashi EM200 Temma2 PC, and using the SX-AO unit, would you consider to mount the RC over it, or would it be strongly not advisable?
Thanks a lot!
