Do not know anything about that specific scope but if astrophotography is your go a triplet will suit ,i am just a visual observer so a triplet is a waste IMO as there would be nothing in a doublet or triplet for visual ,I've had both so have been able to make a comparison , things like cooling down is to me something to factor in ,triplets are front heavy so balancing can be an issue...
One piece of advice i can give you is do your homework and get what suits and don't buy blind.

I'm trying to break into astrophotography and wondering whether this would be a good scope to begin with? Have been told on this forum to look for refractors, more specifically F/5 or F/6 triples, so I went out looking for one and came across this. Thoughts? |
