![]() Also looking to pick up a heavier tripod as right now I am just using my manfrotto. Plan on going to a nikon though for shooting through a scope and using my sony for milkyway. I have the skywatcher adventurer tracker and currently using a sony a6000. ![]() What camera are you using? If a DSLR, then you probably should bite the bullet and get a flattener, if not from the start, then certainly when you've learned the basics of acquisition. it will be hard to know how much you have to crop without it. Just want you to be aware so you are not disappointed down the line.Īs for flattener. So although the above scopes are great for shooting M31 and other large objects (Heart and Soul, Rosette, NA nebula, California nebula, galaxy groups), the vast majority of objects are smaller and would be tiny pimples in such scopes. (Hope this hasn't been discontinued).Īs you are very new, be advised that M31 is one of the largest objects in the sky. If you buy from Astronomics, I believe you get a tiny discount (it was 2.5% last time I bought) if you mention you are a Cloudy Nights' member. Both of those can do well with a less expensive mount and even without guiding initially. Another good widefield little scope is our own Astronomics' 60mm. Cross it off your mind.īefore you worry about the cost of a scope, what are you using for a mount? That's the most important thing, and that's the most expensive thing. The GS61 is just an overpriced guidescope.
