I image galaxies with tight stars up to magnitude 10 with an 8” GSO newt ( focal length 1000mm ) from my dark site Bortle 3
Obviously the object size is smaller in the image than a 12” or 14” scope and the resolution not as good but they are ok images
I’m keen to upgrade to a 10” f5 Carbon fibre newt ( focal length 1250mm ) but this means a bigger mount
I also have my eyes on a Skywatcher EQ8-R mount
My supplier says delivery of mount would be May / June and pier tripod September/ October
What delivery dates do you have if you don’t mind me asking
Cheers
Martin
PS: Some of my images during 2021 ( camera ZWO ASI2600MC )
