Bit less confused

After a lot of chat and more research came up with this as a telescope any good ?????


Bintel N200 EQ6 Pro https://www.bintelshop.com.au/Images/Stock/8164.jpg
Bintel's 200mm f/5 Newtonian coupled with the EQ6 Pro GOTO mount is a perfect match.


- Longer 1000mm focal length provides good image scale with most digital imaging systems.

- Smooth 10:1 Crayford focuser supplied as standard.

- Large knurled collimation knobs on the primary mirror cell for easy alignment.
Mirror cooling fan installed.

- New tube rings (included) now have cast mouldings allowing a top rail to be attached for guide scopes (Orion Guide Scope bars are not included but available to suit). Supplied with quality 8x50 achromatic finderscope, 25mm and 9mm Plossl and 35mm Extension tube for visual use. The EQ6 Pro mount provides the stability and accuracy to allow long exposure astrophotography. The Autoguiding port is configured to accept off the shelf autoguiding cameras such as the Orion Starshoot Autoguider.

If you are going to use it for photography make sure it has the short focuser to allow a camera to be attached, probably has if it needs the extension tube for visual use but worth checking.
