I've only have 6 nights out and this is my first telescope for astrophotography (my first telescope is an orion dobs from 2003). Every night out I mess up in a different way, but it's a fun new hobby and I'm enjoying the images I'm getting. I will say, livestacking and just seeing new things I didn't know about (using stellarium) is probably more

rewarding than the astrophotography far. Make sure to purchase the telescope with the reducer, you'll regret not having the reducer and end up getting one anyway. Focusing is easy, rotating to get the field of view is just right. This doesn't come with any adapters, so if you don't already have a some m48/m42 adapters for your camera, buy some with it. I was sad because I got mine and thought I'd use my solar/planetary cameras which don't need any adapters with my solar telescope, and couldn't reach focus my first night out. I Immediately bought a cooled camera, and it came with all of the adapters I needed.

I tried several filters recently and this one wins for image quality.

I bought this particular telescope after an extensive research into size, portability and cost. This is big enough to be an excellent scope on the cusp of portability. I am a well seasoned astronomer and astrophotographer so this is not my first scope and doesn’t have the multi role capacity that all my other components have. As it comes with the

bonus of six months of clouds I have not had yet a chance to use it, I will submit an update when I’ve used it in its native form

Works beautifully

I love it everything almost seems fake how good it looks!

Very well made grate Finnish, color almost perfect .
