What do you think about the 28" F3.5 Lunar scope from Webster? I take it that the mirror is not coated returning only about 5% of the light and therefore giving apparently excellent views.... |
Having looked through a Webster 28" f3.5 I would honestly suggest you get an aluminised one and use a Herschel wedge or ND filter. I regularly use my 25" on the moon (as in looking at it!) and although the image is very bright it's not going to hurt your eyes, and if you are imaging it will let you use a very fast frame rate.
You could even replace the upper tube assembly with a second one with the Barlow and camera mounted instead of the secondary mirror.
