Hi and SCT advice needed.
Hi all from Canberra - Ok now the ice is broken!
I am a month into this with the primary objective of Nebula astrophotography but interest also in planets, galaxies etc. Its already clear that my small refractor is not going to do it all and have been contemplating adding something (RC or more likely SCT) with more aperture and focal length.
It occurs to me now that a hyperstar C6 seems to make a fair stab at all the bases. 300mm at F2 for nebula sounds brilliant with options for 950mm with F/6.3, 1500mm "bare" and 3000mm with barlow for smaller DSO's, moon and planets.
Is there any obvious downside to this approach that I am missing? I know a C8 would do some of this better but weight and $$ are an issue.
Any input appreciated.
Cheers
