Hello All,
I'm looking at this
150mm Newtonian Skywatcher Black Diamond but there are other examples of Newtonian being image vs. non-image.
I want to do both visual observing and imaging with, potentially, this OTA. If I get the "photo" Newtonian does that mean visual is somehow compromised?
Extending my question if I may:
I am based in Sydney's inner-west so want to observe/image what will be primarily be planets, double stars, clusters, and perhaps some nebula if possible. Would a 150mm Newtonian reflector be OK for this situation? I am also considering something like the Celestron C6 XLT but these kinds of OTAs are a bit scarce at the moment.
The mount I am looking at is a Saxon HEQ5 that'll give me some future proofing for heavier OTAs in the future.
