Starchild615,
I am very tempted to buy this scope. Can you send me the link to the exact one you purchased. My only problem at the moment is I just had major back surgery and I am not able to lift more then 10lbs for the next 3 months. I guess my son can setup the scope and move it as needed and hopefully ill be able to lift it in 6 months or so..
To everyone else:
In regards to this being the right scope for astrophotography and a good quality scope I am curious as to what others think about this scope and is it a good choice for someone starting out that wants a unit that will grow with me and be able to handle photography well. What if any upgrades should be done now or in the future to make this a top notch telescope.
Is there something that would be better to buy instead of this. This is alot of money so i just like to hear what others with more experience have to say about this.
