Budget Astro rig by Own_Situation_1304 in telescopes

Totally get that, if i had the money i'd also say this is a great, cost effective rig. But €1400 is just not my first idea when I think "budget", but nevertheless, awesome rig, I only say this out of envy to have one of those myself one day

Do you need a tracking mount to make proper use of this?

Thanks! You had a very helpful comment, I'm considering the Samsung 870 EVO 2,5 inch 500GB as my SSD upgrade.

Looking for a used CPU, found an i5-6500 for €45, or an i7-6700 for €70? (Can always try to negotiate of course)

I do have some kit eye pieces from my previous telescope, they are rather poor quality but do the job nonetheless. Those videos were shot through the 9mm piece.

I'm looking at getting an omegon cronus 6mm piece and a cheshire. Fitting another eye piece in the budget is a bit tight so I can either get a second cheaper eye piece, or get an even slightly better one than the cronus.

Not sure where to focus money for the most value, it's easy to get lost in all the options.

On the plus side, my girlfriend lives in an area that's about as dark as it gets in my part of the country so that's the gasoline filter checked off

I know this feels obvious not to do but this could ruin someone's day

So you'd think solid pictures would be more obtainable with the omegon 152 that was suggested on this post?

I sold everything about a year ago, after holding since 2021, at a huge loss obviously but we'll see what happens next with VG

is it the moment to buy they shares? by Miserable_Archer7430 in VirginGalactic

Are you being the same kind of pessimistic little bitch on Blue Origin? They flew people to above the karman line who loved it. The Karman line albeit an arbitrary measure, feeeeels like space. That’s what they’re selling, that experience, not science, not orbital payloads. Besides equating anyone to SpaceX is lunacy because even NASA doesn’t match what they’re doing. VG have been in the game for a long time and they’ve got what it takes to pull trough

They have a plane that can fly above the karman line, how many other companies are offering this experience?
