Yes

Wdym need ect

etc means et cedra which basically means additional things
but that looks like a super cheap scope that will suck a lot, better off getting a dobsonian if you want to do visual astronomy
with as large aperture as possible

what are you using the scope for
and refractors aren’t really the best for visual, you should get something which as much aprerature as possible
true flint
Like what
fervent grail
what are you using the scope for
visual, planetary imaging, or deep space object imaging?

I'm on a buget but I want to look at it for deep space
fervent grail
so deep space is harder and a lot more expensive, to get started in deep space you will need a star tracker (300ish dollars) a tripod (100ish dollars) and a dslr and lens which you might already have but if not (300ish dollars)
if you want to do visual you can get a decent 6 inch dobsonian for 400ish dollars
and then you can eventually do good planetary photography if you decide to get a camera
but definitely don’t go for any of the 100 dollar scopes on amazon, they’re all pieces of garbage

I started with that scope
fervent grail
do your own research about astrophotography, visual work, etc before you spend any money and set realistic expectations and a budget before you buy anything
quaint vortex
You’ll see the moon, andromeda and orion, though they’ll be patches of dust if you do visual, and the moon
and also jupiter’s moons, but aside from that, the scope can’t do much deep space

Yh and some deep space aswell
quaint vortex
Taking images is much harder than simply doing visual since it requires extra equipment

the base things you’ll need is a star tracker and a dslr with a lens/telescope
fervent grail
deep space photography will be nearly impossible without a good eq mount and that scope will be full of chromatic aberration and other imperfections which will show up more as you stack more images
yeah a star tracker and dslr will be much better
quaint vortex
if you want a basic star tracker that is roughly 400 usd, you can get the SWSA 2i
if you want the go to option, which lets you go to a target automatically, the cheapest one that is decent is the SWSA GTi, for 740
You can mount a dslr on it, like I do atm to take images which aren’t too bad once you learn how to take better images
do you have a dslr camera?

he said deep space
