Hey all,
My first post here, I'm starting out in this hobby after a long term interest.
My interest lies in photographing deep space objects primarily.
I'm after advice on a refractor. $2k would be the maximum budget.
I'd prefer a triplet or at least something corrected to avoid aberration issues.
I have a wildlife and macro photography background so I'm fairly intolerant of such things..
It will be paired with the ASI 533MC camera.
I've looked at a few options but unsure how wide is too wide.
I want it to be manageable as a beginner but long enough to allow capture of lots of interesting targets.
I've considered;
Sharpstar 76
Redcat 51
ED80
Leading contender I feel is the Zenithstar 81
Anyway, hoping to hear from you all!
Thanks,
Ash
