Without a telescope, and only capable of carrying a small one.Ĭombining a large aperture for visual and a good mount for imaging always ends up at much more than you'd expect :-) Thus many have a large manual telescope for observing, and a smaller imaging rig.The Gskyer Astromaster 130eq telescope is the very definition of versatility. (There are EQ platforms, diy <$100 commercial $300+++ or so, but they are not precise enough for long eposures).įor imaging, a good mount will cost as much as your budget allows. $300-500 will buy you an amazing 8" dobsonian or so that will show a LOT. If you are interested in visual at all, a 5" aperture is the bottle-neck. Even with just a tripod you can already take pictures of the andromeda galaxy, clusters. Have you done fixed-tripod imaging before? It gives you a good introduction, a feel for why it's so difficult. The 130eq is not stable enough, not even for visual. I have the SLT mount and a similar telescope, as I just replied to r/telescopes aims to be a high quality sub where users can discuss all things telescopes and astronomy, but allowing such repetitive and low-effort posts will drastically lower the overall quality of the sub. Low-effort content such as those complaining about the weather (we get it, clouds are bad), simple questions that usually result in one line responses (these should be posted in our weekly discussion threads instead), general 'shitposting', memes, etc. Titles should be descriptive about what you're discussing/posting. Titles should not be 'clickbaity' nor self-deprecating - we're all here to learn so there is no point in calling yourself a 'noob' and/or putting yourself down. Concept art is not permitted, nor is content not relating to visual astronomy/telescopes. Images must be taken by you, with gear which you own - remote or professional services such as DSW or Hubble are not permitted. This enforces quality, encourages discussion, and benefits everyone. This includes your gear as well as any processing you did to the image. Images must have a top-level comment containing acquisition and processing details. Self promotion is only permitted to active members of the community. Not providing commentary, or posting content from a single source will be assumed to be attempts of driving traffic, which is not allowed here. This sub is a place for everyone to learn and help each other, and such behaviour only does bad things to everyone involved.ĭirect links should be accompanied by commentary as a top level comment, and should be a source of discussion.
