Hello, I decided to start with serious astrophotography soon, but am not quite sure about the telescope. I was thinking to go with a HEQ-5 as a mount because it fits well into my budget. For the telescope itself, I have a budget of around 1000€ and I'd like a refractor telescope. I was thinking to buy an Omegon apochromatic refractor Pro APO AP 85/510 Triplet ED FCD-100 (someone may have some experience with that scope(?)). I also already have a camera. Do you have any recommendations or objections?

I started out with the WO Zenithstar 61 APO Doublet - all together new with the guide scope it cost $945
Make sure you factor in the price of a field flattener too if it's not included with the scope :)
