Hi, I used to be an active member but dropped out for about 5 years. I'm now able to start looking for a telescope and mount for lunar and planetary photography.

I have M.S. which means that I need a light setup because strength is not my strong point. I have the use of an 8" SC but it is simply too heavy for me to use. I can handle up to 20 pounds without too much trouble.

I also need a type of scope that doesn't need collimation as my fine motor skills are pretty much shot.

My camera is a Sony Alpha a58.

I am hoping in the future to be able to put up a small observatory. Small as in one person in a wheel chair is all it will hold.
