Hi Raymo,

I'm looking at upgrading some time next year to an 8" reflector for astrophotography work

I am currently using a 6" f6 reflector with a 900mm FL on a HEQ5 pro mount for both visual and imaging. Its a great visual scope but has its limitations for imaging

I like the Skywatcher brand too

With your experience and background what kit would you suggest at this early stage ( approx mid 2019 purchase )

SW Black Diamond 200mm F5 focal length 1000mm

SW Quattros 200mm F4 focal length 800mm

SW NEQ6Pro mount or SW EQ6R mount

I welcome any comments / advice

Thanks in advance

PS: I have read a large number of posts on various forums stating that f4's are difficult to collimate

Do you believe that to be the case ??
