Hi all

I am planning the acquisition of some equipment for visual observing that I expect to lead into AP once I get the hang of handling scopes, finding things in the sky and learning a bit more about astronomy in general. With that in mind what I buy now needs to serve me with AP later when I plan to image deep sky objects like nebula.

Happy to receive advice on these items

From my research I am leaning towards a refractor like a William Optics FLT132 with a WO 2" Diagonal dielectric.
For a mount I was thinking an NEQ6 pro.
As for eyepieces I am open to suggestions as to what brand, size, range etc that would suit this setup.

Later I would add camera adaptors, t ring, guide package like the Orion starshoot and WO field flattener/reducer IV, filters, to get into serious AP using my Nikon D4.

I realise a big Dob would get me more bang for buck initially for visuals but it doesn't get me anywhere in the direction of AP which is where I want to go.

Welcome all constructive input.

Cheers
