I have a Celestron NexStar4se and after I get a DLSR camera I was wondering what Celestron telescope I should upgrade to next

#

depends what you want to do

#

do you want a larger scope for planetary?

#

or do you want to do into dso imaging

I don’t really want to do deep sky

#

And I want to stick to Celestron because I am familiar with their features

#

i would say to get the largest possibly motorised dobsonian but celestron dont make those

#

so youll be looking at Skywatcher for example

#

if you can find someone selling a 10" skyhopper you can go for it but you wont have electronic go-to

If your intention is to only shoot planets then get a planetary cam instead of the dslr

can go for a player one uranus c

#

there's not much point in getting it if the focus is only planets, you don't need such a huge sensor

#

it's not that bad of an idea either, it can come in handy but that's up to him to decide

Are you referring to the Uranus c or dslr

uranus

Thr Uranus is made for planetary

#

Ik, but you can save a bunch by getting a smaller sensor, most of the time you'll be using a tiny ROI anyway

If thr Uranus is too big, then get a 224 then lol

worn escarp
#

well not a 224 lol, too old

#

but like a 664, 662

A uv/ir cut filter is also a good idea too because it will give you true colors of your target

#

What's the budget for a telescope upgrade?
