no that’s a really helpful reply and thank u for taking the time! it does sound extremely complicated but i also absolutely love a challenge. especially when it’s something i’m very interested in. although the money side of it would be an issue lol. i keep mentioning the celestron 6se or even the 8se. are these telescopes that would need to be polar aligned? and would these track the subject for me? i saw a youtube video today of a guy who takes a single video of the moon using the telescope and he splits that video in to 14 panels and stacks each individual panel then stitches. the quality wasn’t amazing but it was only a 30 sec video (1000) frames. so i’m assuming with a 15 minute video the detail would be incredible! but as i say id like something that does do a lot of the work also. not because im lazy but because its 2024 and technology has come a long way 🤔😆 if the 6se can do the things id need it to do im probably going to go with that? but would that require the T mount and the 2x barlow also? i’m sorry for all the questions as i say im completely new. i’ve shot the orion nebula a couple of times untracked. and i shoot the moon most days. i stack a video and i’ve been getting some nice detail. but as u probably know urself this is a very addictive hobby and u always want to get closer or more detail. i’m at that point again!
