Seeking general advice about the TV 85Posted By Thomas Lowry |
I am on the verge of purchasing a TV 85, and thought I would seek some general advice before I did. I am an avid photographer, but I am relatively new to astronomy (I've had a Celestron ST80 and Equitorial mount for about a year.)
My short-term goals are to put together a quick-grab rig that can provide high quality images of the moon and planets to a very discriminating audience (kids aged 3 and 6)
In general, I need advice on a good alt-az mount that can provide steady views through the 85 at moderate to high powers. Any insights on the 85 would also be greatly appreciated, as I have never actually looked through one. Thanks.
