What telescope or telescopes / mount to get?Posted By Joe Baldwin |
I think the CM1100 would be a very sweet setup for astrophotography and planetary imaging. The CI-700 is a solid platform for an 11" and you get a slightly more rigid setup than the CGE 11. Plus, you can take the extra $900 and find a good used SBIG ST7. The down side is that the CI-700 and the C11 are commitments. While portable, they are a chore to set up, align and tear down if you don't have a permanent place to observe. The same is true for the CGE 11.
