all you need

[solid cedar]

Yes, the SW SA 2i and the 135mm Roki/Samy

[shrewd spire]

well the thing is that i live in a light polluted city so its hard for me to find deep sky objects

With that budget you won't be able to get anything that it is long enough to be difficult to find objects. The 135mm Roki/Samy has a FOV that it is over 9x6 degrees in M4/3, even larger if you get a camera with larger sensor. You can easily star-hop to your target with live-view.

If you use the Roki/Samy at f/2 you can see in the live view stars down to mag 6.5.

Anyway, with about 200€ more you can get the SA GTi.

Or you can get the AZ-GTi and turn it into a equatorial mount with a polar wedge.

definetly get a sa gti, az gtis are trash and sw sa 2i does have much less functions and worse tracking

eq3 pro + redcat 51 or similar + 585

and can get even better with seond hand parts

[cosmic badge]

Get second hand stuff it's way cheap

[ocean valley]

Thats way over the 1500 budget xd

[pearl steeple]

not second hand it's not

[ocean valley]

Shesh

[pearl steeple]

Or new eq3 pro, new asi585 and second hand 51 is about 1500
