#What would be a good telescope with the SKYWATCHER EQ3 PRO mount?

Depends on your budget, but you’d be looking at small refractor telescopes or lenses
Samyang 135mm lens is the best if you dont need to shoot galaxies
i plan on using it for planetary as well
budget would be about £600
There won’t really be an all-in-one option for planetary on that mount I’m afraid. I’d recommend getting a samyang 135mm like Tomaz said, and then get a second hand 8” dobsonian for planetary
No
unless i get a eq platform
It’s not necessary to track for planetary imaging though
oh
Tbh with your budget, if you buy things second hand you might be able to get both. The Skywatcher classic 200p comes up for around £200 occasionally on astro buy and sell UK and Facebook marketplace, and I’d imagine you’ll be able to get hold of a samyang 135mm f2 for <£400 second hand
ah ok
