is it good so i can start photographing the planets? I have a lit bit expirience with astronomy and with lunar photography.

Nope

#

Would be much better to go with a tabletop dob instead

vivid ridge
#

i know but i cant buy a dob and its too big. Is it any other telescope i can buy for visual and a little bit planetary astrophotography with a webcam

#

?

#

A 6" isn't too big. Measure and see if it can fit

#

That 130-900 eq2 is bigger than a 6" dob

#

Dobson telescope N 150/750 Messier DOB
is this a good option?

mint furnace
#

vivid ridge

150/750's are alright but bit short focal, might want to invest in a reasonably good barlow for viewing the planets

vivid ridge
#

ok i will search that

#

3x 1.25" achromatic Barlow lens
Like this?

#

We don't really know with just the name

mint furnace
#

But sounds bad

#

750mm focal length is perfectly fine

#

especially since 150 aperture is enough to see some dsos

vale phoenix
#

sure but like i said a bit short for planets

gritty forge
#

barlows are cheaper than reducers, just saying

mint furnace
#

Could be longer but can't get better for him

gritty forge
#

anyway personally i would go for the skywatcher heritage 150p

vivid ridge
#

ok thanks a lot for your time
