Hi Everyone,
I need some help.
I have a Celestron C8-NGT that I bought (traded) less than a year ago (my 12th scope in 10 years). I have an opportunity (I think) to trade it for an Atares 153mm f/6 achro refractor on a Sky Watcher HEQ -5 GEM (non-goto, not an issue with me). I also have a WO 66 Petzval to mount on top or use buy it's self. The HEQ-5 seems much stronger than the Celestron. Camera: Cannon 20d. I am also about to finish building a 16" Dob for star hopping.
I'm really thinking about it mainly for the mount. I could see using the scope as a "down payment" on an NP101 down the road.
Help!
Gary
