Searching the best rich field telescope.

Posted By Paulo martin

Hello,

I have a 20X100 binoculars with 2.5 degree field, but I am looking for a telescope with more interchangeable magnification, maybe more aperture and more "wide angle factor", also I have a Pronto 70 f/6.8 telescope with a good wide angle factor but I think that 70mm are very small aperture, I like observing nebulas, star cluster, Milky Way fields, dark nebulas, star clouds..all with wide angle vistas and more aperture that this marvelous telescope.

Anyone have experience on theme?

Sincerely,

Paul
