Hi,

I'm looking at getting a telescope and instead of buying the first one that came up on Amazon I thought I would ask the PH experts!

I only have 2 requirements:

That I can take pictures / hook up a camera and be under £300 ish.

TIA!

I live near a forest with no street lighting so pretty good I think!

Reading the threads I'm going to go with https://www.firstlightoptics.com/beginner-telescop... but want to give them a call to find out how to mount an SLR!

Ok I'll have a think about that - the chaps at that website said:

Bare in mind that the earth is rotating whilst you are imaging, the target is constantly moving, Planets and the moon only require very short exposures so this is doable with the EQ2 mount.

I'll give it a go and see what happens!!!
