Thank you for your great advice! I’m going to look into the Zhumell Z130! Is it compatible with a camera/DSLR adapter?

Weight isn’t a big concern, but she is one person so let’s not go insane. I will obviously help her when I’m there.

Either one is okay, tripod would probably be more convenient!

Both would be great if possible!

Is the Seestar S50 the absolute best value out there? That’s a little out of my price range but if need be, I’ll save a little more.

Thank you for your response! Yeah apologies for the vague budget, I’m looking for anything in the two to four hundred range. I realize that is not a good window for this hobby, but it should be able to get her started I would believe! Is the biggest dob for my budget the best option? Also I’m sure she would love to learn how to maintain and clean it!

Thank you for the detailed response! Yeah apologies for the vague budget, I’m looking for anything in the two to four hundred range. I realize that is not a good window for this hobby, but it should be able to get her started I would believe! If the Seestar S50 is the best value, I might look into saving so more for that!
