So I’ve been looking around a bit more and after reading the reply’s and looking around on the net I’m now down to the following options;
  • CGX Mount (fairly certain about that one)
  • GSO BT252 (Truss style Newt scope f4 10”)
  • Or Skywatcher Esprit 100mm
  • Orion delux 50mm guide scope
  • ZWO ASI290mm Autoguider
  • ZWO ASI294mc pro for main camera

Obviously the original budget is out the window.

Any thoughts/comments about this setup, do you guys think the esprit or the newt would be better? I’m thinking maybe the esprit 100 because I’m not sure about having the camera and everything mounted at the top of the scope. Also I’ve heard of people having problems with those truss scopes e.g pinching and other mirror type issues. But it would have less flex and it has the aperture and focal ratio I’m looking for.
