Bintel have their 6” f6 newt for only $399
Although I think that’s with a single speed focuser ( photo shows single speed )
When I bought my Bintel 6” f6 newt 3 years ago it was upgraded with a dual speed focuser at no cost.I originally bought it for visual ( great visual scope too !!! ) as at the time I hadn’t considered to do any serious imaging but when I borrowed my wife’s old Canon and starting snapping 20 and 30 second images standing next to the mount using a remote shutter release , I caught hook line and sinker into AP. 6 months later came guiding and pushing 5 minute subs on galaxies, nebs and clusters
Alex ( Tabulam ) always said the 6” newt is great scope for AP and he’s not wrong
The only mod I’ve done on mine is fit better primary mirror springs 6 months ago as collimation was drifting a bit
It’s a real workhorse and great all rounder for DSO and planetary imaging
