Buying telescope

kingofbeers

Hi,
I'm looking to get a telescope. I don't have a budget so not worried about price. I'd like to get one that sees deep into space and is motorised. So I see maybe nebulas. Any help much appreciated.

There's this if you're willing to go second hand.

Thats a good setup.

Both the seller, and the guy he bought it off are good customers of mine.

Highly recommended, and a very good deal at that price.

Of course if astrophotography is on the menu, it wouldnt be absolutely ideal as it is.

How did you get on? I am also in the market for an 11 inch telescope for astrophotography

You should be looking at the mount first rather than optical tube...if your mount ain't going to handle the load you ain't going to get much...

Thanks Nerro, I will do that first. Let you know how I get on. Ta
