5" Apo or a Mn190 for 80% imaging 20% Visual
Hi Guys, I've not long moved to Oz from North Wales ( just over a year)where I reluctantly let most of my Astro kit go. Mistake!
I'm now living in country Vic and hope to get started soon and want opinions regarding buying a 5" Apo or another MN 190 ( I used to own one back in the Uk, see attached images).
My Mn 190 was in a permanent setup under a roll off roof obs, here I'm going to have to set up and tear down each night .
My scope use will be approx 80% imaging and 20% visual
My biggest worry with this equipment dilemma is ,
Will I miss the higher resolution and light grasp of the Mn 190 if I buy a quality 5"Apo refractor.? Having never owned one you see.
I should also add that I already have a Ed80 in the stable and a QSi 583 with all filters. I'm being swayed at the moment by the convenience of a refractor setup though.
I'd especially like to be pointed in the direction of deep sky images others have taken using a 5" Apo.
Thanks Guys
Dave Moulton
