ASKAR 71F with reducer

[rotund plinth]

wondering if there are any other better options at a similar price

current setup:
celestron avx mount
canon 2000d with rokinon 135mm f2 lens

I dont really like the f/6.9 of that scope. Tbh you could find used redcat for the same price.

I got my used spacecat 51 for 600$

A used redcat would be much better

im guessing he wants something with more focal length. Since roki is close to redcat

Tbh Zenithstar 61 looks like a great option

Ive seen people have great results with it.

Also good price for used

[twilit isle]

Yes

U can also look on the William optics for some refurbished options

There is some at times

I found a 450$ one iirc on the website

thanks for the input guys

Also if not those. id also have a look at imaging newtonians

Pretty much that price range

For example carbonstar 150 from apertura has some great reviews

[rotund plinth]

zenithstar 61 II available for $400 rn

[twilit isle]

That’s really good

The flattener is also needed

250$ for it I think

[twilit isle]

Yep

I’m pretty sure the sky watcher Quattro series is Great too

Or the 130pds

Paired with a reducer it will be great and fast

[rotund plinth]

is there a 1x flattener available for the zenithstar 61
