Illuminated Reticles
I am thinking of getting an illuminated reticle, the one I am giving particular consideration to is the 'The Meade MA12mm Astrometric Eyepiece'. I have read that it is good for a number of calculations, including,
Four types of measuring scales are included, for measuring double star
angular separations, position angles, planetary diameters, and lunar crater diameters, as well as many other useful astronomical measurements. Included also is a doublecrossline scale for long-exposure photo-guiding.
Though I am new to astrophotography, and astronomy in general, would this be the best reticle to go for at this stage, or one of the other ones on the market. Cost does come into it? If you suggest another, which one and why?
