Hello,
I read this forum daily and this is the first time I have posted on this forum.
I would like your opinion on purchasing my first telescope. I am looking to purchase a Reflector Telescope but I am not sure if I should be purchasing a Maksutov Cassegrain or Maksutov Newtonian. I have the opportunity to purchase the following Reflector Telescope:
- Aperture 254 mm(10") F=1150mm (f/4.5) Parabolic
- Focuser 2" Rack & Pinion
- Finder scope 8x50 Illuminated
- Film Aluminium +Sio
- Eyepiece 31.7mm(1.25”)70° 10mm FMC & 50.8mm(2”)70° 26mm FMC
- Motor Drive Dual Axis (Optional)
- Mount JE160
- Tripod 2" Stainless Steel
Basically, I want to view the solar system, asteroids, stars, satellites, etc., as far as possible with the best image. I can purchase the above for about $1,500.
Thank you
