Hello, all, I'm new to the forum and astronomy in general. I recently purchased a pretty cheap Skywatcher 8" Dob (collapsible) sans mount (made my own). Anyway, I too would like something to hook my Nikon D7100 up to. I'd like to use my 105 f2.8 and it would be nice if I might be able to put my Tamron 150-600 onto something. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the options. The Vixen GP2 seems to have been around for a while but the new Skywatcher Star-Adventurer looks like a pretty good deal. Anyone had any experience with the latter yet? I was thinking the alternative might be to get an HEQ5 with or without GOTO. Without seems to be about the same price as the Vixen but the HEQ5 seems to have the advantage of being able to place a decent size OTA latter on. (I don't think it is possible for me to put the Dob on it). Thoughts ???
