![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted to upgrade from a 130mm (650 mm focal lenght) newtonian, to something that I could still use to capture some nebula and would also really get some more detail on targets like M33 Triangulum I haven't been disappointed! One note to to people is really to consider the camera sensor you are planning to use too as it makes a huge difference of your field of view! I did collimate this on arrival and it was slightly out - nothing major though and not surprising given it has been shipped from the UK to Europe. I hope to use the telescope to image a wide range of galaxies. Planetary nebula ( like Messier27), globular and open clusters. I am really looking forward too imaging nebulae (like Messier 8). This is a great telescope for Deep Sky imaging, and is very wide field. I am looking forward to re-imaging again with more exposures. The results were quite impressive even with relatively few exposures to stack. On my first night, I was imaging some of the Ursa Major Galaxies with my modded 850D DSLR ( Messier 51/109/81-82). ![]() My camera (850D) connected perfectly to the coma corrector. The optics are fast at f/4.5 with Skywatcher x0.9 Coma Corrector. Collimation was reasonably easy with the Rigel Aline Collimation cap. It is so lightweight and perfectly mounted on my NEQ6 Pro mount. This is an absolutely excellent telescope and at such a reasonably price. ![]()
