A slight change/consideration
Hi,
I recently replied to someone in the For Sale area with regards to an Orion 80ED telescope.
I know I said I was looking somewhere around the 62mm to 72mm area, but I read a lot of people recommend an 80ED for beginners. Especially in relation to photography.
Will an EQ3-2 be good enough to start with an 80ED on a tight budget? I am not too bothered if it is not a perfect mount, just something for me to start and trial this hobby as well as perhaps just do some visual astronomy too.
Is there anything else I need to consider about such a purchase? I saw it has no focuser, is that going to be expensive to replace with either a Moonlite (quoted in advert) thingy or perhaps a manufacturer focuser?
Anybody got any advice for me on this one please?
Thank you
JA
