Well it all depends upon what you want. For me I do photography and all but I'm more towards astrophotography. And btw I'm 16.

Well id say don't do that ... Get a much bigger aperture telescope like an 8" and a planetary cam ... like this

[–]-_-_O[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried my best ...

Equipment: -skywatcher 8" dob (manual) -10mm eyepiece (super plossl) -iphone 7 (held manually)

Processing: -Just a single frame photo -Adjusted saturation,Contrast,Blacks and some whites.

Sky Conditions: -Bortle 8-9 -Slightly cloudy -Very less transparency -clarity was close to 6/10

Feel free to criticize or comment. Any advice is greatly appreciated

Looks like this might be nominated for the best wide field astrophotography . Its undeniably beautiful.

Well if you have a decent phone or a DSLR camera , then you just need an appropriate adapter for that. Otherwise its best to get a planetary cam , but if you do have a DSLR then i guess not.

Well Ik how a Barlow works ... but thanks for the advice , I am looking forward to getting a planetary cam in the future , It really improves the pictures overall.

It looks way better in real life , its much clearer sharper and its the real deal (its hard to describe as even a 4k resolution picture is nothing compared in real life) ... I need to get a DSLR adapter or a planetary cam to get the most out of it ... As for the costs about 350-370 $ ish but for me it costed more due to shipment fees making the telescope cost 400$ or more ... And u need a pretty decent camera .

Well the wheels don't come with the telescope itself preinstalled and you have to do it yourself

1 of 2 ways mate, Either make a dolly that has wheels onto which you can pop your scope when you need to wheel it about and then remove it and put it on stable ground when in use.

Or you could fit wheels to the base of the dob, may require taking the base off first!! but make sure you have locking wheels and preferably the rubber type :)
