Anyone like telescopes?

Here is one of my old school Newts on a Cave 2.5" shaft mount. Scope is a 10" F/8.
|
So i guess no one here has a scope?
|
i like them, but i don't have one.
|
I will be getting me one "soon" to do a little astrophotography. Nothing major but enough to have a little fun with. Also to share with my best friends 5 & 3 yr old, to show them 'stuff'.
|
I used one in college to search for moons and and other objects in the girls dorm 2 buildings away.

I would like to get one this year. Thinking of either a 10" Dobsonian or a 10-16" Compound due to it being more compact and lighter.

Not sure if a 16" is even being made today and if it was it would be big money. |
Two of the things I have to consider are being able to move it myself and where to store it. Seems the articles I have looked at with pics some of the pics require software to get the images to look good in both color and clarity. I don't see myself spending more than $2500. Probably my 1st and last scope in the last 30 years.

Plenty of good used stuff for sale. 90% of my stuff i bought used.

A good used 5" ED would be a good choice. The one on the far left was a 130mm triplet. Size wise is not too big.
