Also, I would forget the Skywatcher's guide scope and get a dedicated OAG from Moravian.

What are your goals in terms of imaging the night sky?
Hi Slawomir
I had a look at the 3.5" FT but they don't do the adapters I need. I need a M68 and the 3" version has one.

My goals are Deep sky objects and large mosaics, comets with long tails etc. I would like to do comet hunting and I was thinking of going to use the ZWO ASI 1600mm for it as it offers a small field of view and the price is good.
