I'm about to purchase my first kit for deep sky imaging but have one simple question to ask, just to be sure before purchasing.

Would a Skywatcher ProED 80mm Scope fit on a Celestron Advanced VX goto Mount?

Thanks!

u/twoghouls · 1 pointr/astrophotography

Actually, good timing. I have a Skywatcher Pro ED80 I am looking to sell if you would be willing to buy used. I would sell it to you for $380. I also have other accessories like the field flattener/reducer that I am also willing to sell. If you aren't interested, no worries, I can sell on CloudyNights, just thought I would offer.

I started with a Nexstar in LA and would not recommend that to a newbie astrophotographer. Nexstars are fine for visual observation and even planetary imaging but they’re the worst for everything else. Instead, get him this telescope and this mount . That should keep him busy for a long time in astrophotography. Plus both have good resale value in case he doesn’t stick with the hobby ;-)

Oh, and bring him to the LA Astronomical Society’s HQ in Monterey Park! We have open house every Wednesday. Anybody there will be happy to show him the ropes

Unless I'm mistaken, he's got his Canon attached to his Telescope, the Skywatcher 80ED he mentioned. Still very impressive though.

I have been eyeing the skywatcher 80ed, but it seems a little too similar to my current scope. 80ED is 80mm f/7.5 and mine is 70mm f/8.5, which I know is worse, but if I had to choose where to budget my money...

It's either that or an 8-10" reflector, though if I went with that, I know I'd have to get a stronger mount. Which would you recommend?
