should add the scopes to stellarium with theyr flatteners and reducers, Also the camera you plan to use. frame up alot of targets what suits the best the imaging needs

@verbal pine you could always look at the RedCat 51 if you want a nice widefield scope, or the zenithstar 71 if you want some more reach, Evostar 80ED for just some more reach, if you want really widefield like constellation shots then a Rokinon 135 could be considerable
