Hmm seems alright

#

The nexstar SLT telescope series are pretty good from I've seen/heard

#

Okay, so because i'm on a budget of 1000 - 1200 dollars this is perfect for me because the celestron ce6 is just too expensive for me.

the scope is good but only really capable of planetary

silk shale
#

Yeahhh i can see that

#

It has f/10

#

And other stuff for planetary observasions

frigid gull
#

Yea you've got 1500mm focal length, thisbis like galaxy focal length stuff

#

Planetary suits better

silk shale
#

Are there any telescopes with SkyAligh which have a focal length below 1500 mm and also are below 1500 dollars?

#

Oh and also with a apeture more than 102 mm

#

Hey um

#

Is this telescope good for deep space and planetary?

#

Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi 150P Tabletop GoTo Dobsonian

#

I saw this many times on youtube and in some online shops but is it actually good?

gilded bobcat
#

better for visual and planetary imaging but yeah in theory it's usable for ap but very very limited

#

Well i am looking for a telescope which is good for both

#

Or atleast good for planetary and mid for deep space

frigid gull
#

have a look at 8 inch dobsonians

silk shale
#

I know but i think 1000 mm focal length is good for planetary and mid for deep space

#

I took this photo of Saturn with 750 mm

#

I have a camera which has a magnification of a 6 mm eyepiece and i used 2x barlow lens

frigid gull
#

yea thats good

silk shale
#

So would a 1000/750 mm focal length telescope with an apeture of atleast 6" be good for both?

frigid gull
#

sure

silk shale
#

Alright, thanks

#

I found a 6" telescope with 1000 mm focal length already but the problem is i don't know how to allign the polar thingy

#

I mean i never bought it but i saw some videos on yt

#

It looked complicated

gilded bobcat
#

nah it's really easy and for visual it doesn't have to be spot on

pliant ridge
#

yeah

#

if it aint motorized you dont even have to polar align
