Hi, i've founded this telescopes, i want to start doing planetary and some deepsky astrophotography, i've founded those telescopes with a goto system, but idk if i should buy a manual dobson instead

If you want to do deepsky the startravel 102 with az-gte is your best bet. If you want to do planetary go with the skymac 127

The skymax will not work for deepsky becouse it doesn't have a motorised mount. But the startravel might work for planets... Mby

What camera do you have?

Looks like the startravel 102 is your best bet for planets and deepsky. But i would personally recommend https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-telescope-n-114-500-skyhawk-1145ps-az-gte-goto-wifi/p,60129 this over all of the options above

The only problem is that the primary cannot be adjusted (a bit of a problem for collimation)

[atomic monolith]

Yeah, that could be a problem

[tardy garden]

Yeah. But such a small sensor on a refractor would probably be a bigger problem tho

Founded the same on ebay lol

I hate the god damn shipment tho

Are there any like £100 more expensive options?

Also what is the weight capacity of the mount?

5kg

For your camera not rly in my opinion (refractors will be a pain in the ass becouse the stars will look bloated , at least from my experience) and i am not sure if there are any 114/500 mm newts with a parabolic mirror that can be collimated (there probably are but i am too lazy to check)

Bigger newts like 130/650 will be problematic becouse of weight

Maybe you could spend the 100£ on a Skywatcher wedge and counterweight for az-gti

It will improve your tracking a lot

That's good
