Thanks Marftin.
Nice shot of M17. So that was on the 6"? Looking on Bintel's site, they only recommend it for visual observing. It looks very similar to the one I first got years ago, but the focusser on mine was horrible. The scope would move 1/2" just trying to turn the knob every time. Guess some things have improved in th last 40 years at least.
I see they have a similar 8" F4 model that is recommended on their Astrograph page. Oddly though, they don't have the much recommended Skywatch ED80 on their Astrograph page, even though it is recommended in their description for Astrophotography.
I don't really see Newts as suggestions in any of the searching I've done on recommended scopes for beginning Astrophotography. I there a reason for that? You image certainly looks comparable to some of the refractor imaging I've seen, at least at a casual glance.
Russell.
