Hi everyone,
I am new to here and astrophotography.
I put an order of ED80 previously but the delivery time postpone to next year, so I have to find other telescopes now.
I currently have an HEQ5 mount, and I use it for deep-sky photography and sometimes for planetary (because I live in Sydney downtown).
There are a few options I found (second hand or demo):
1. Skywatcher 150/750 single-speed focuser.
2. Skywatcher 130/650 dual-speed focuser.
3. Skywatcher 150mm Maksutov
4. Intes Micro Alters 150mm Maksutov (M603)
My ideal one is 150/750 dual-speed, but I could not find any! Not sure does 130/650 can satisfy both deep-sky and planetary photography.
I understand Maksutov is good for planetary, but it can be used for a few deep-sky photographies and it has better image quality for imaging, right? And I heard Intes Micro is the best Maksutov, but because it is an old telescope which is what I concern.
Anyone can give any suggestion in this case? Really appreciated!
Cheers,
Taylor
