Hello All,
This is my first post to the Astromart forum. I was hoping if anyone can answer my questions. I am considering buying a Mewlon 210 (would like the 250 but it is out of my budget at the moment) and a goto eq mount.
My current setup is a LX90 8” EMC and a couple of Naglers.
My question is how different will the views be through the 210 compared to the 8” LX90. I am 99% a visual observer but would like the option to dabble in astrophotography in the future. My general observing is planetary and Nebula.
My second question is what is a good goto mount for the 210. I am thinking $2500 and under (preferably under).
Thank you in advance for the advice. I think my main issue is that as the 210 has similar aperture to the 8” Meade, I do want to see a reasonably significant upgrade in image.
Cheers,
Richard
