Beginner to Lunar Photography, is this a solid start?

[lethal thunder]

New to telescopes in general, looking to get a setup to take lunar photos.

Is this a good start or overkill? Right now I am using a standard telephoto lens with my Canon 700D. https://i.imgur.com/SpDhf5S.png

I assume the tripod is essential here as my normal camera tripod while theoretically able to support the mount and telescope will probably be too flimsy?

I'd do a larger newtonian instead of a mak

I was told newtonians have issues with chromattic aberation, or is that just an issue with the toy-grade ones? Wait, sorry, I meant refractor, newtonians have issues with collumation, right? I see these telescopes have support structures in front of the lens, won't that be detrimental for lunar photos as opposed to deep sky images?

[charred kindle]

No

Yes they need to be collimated but it is not difficult to collimate them

They are the best for planetary and lunar

(for their price)

For planetary and lunar, to get the most detail you need a large scopr

So something like this with a 2x barlow lens would work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Telescope-Newtonian-Telescopes-Professional-Smartphone/dp/B087CRF6CT

I'd be using a tring adaptor and a proper DSLR, not the smartphone stuff

[rotund current]

they don't have CA, if you get any it's because of the eyepieces

try to look for a 150mm dobson, especially if you only want to take lunar pics

Also try not to buy off amazon

https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/omegon-dobson-telescope-advanced-x-n-152-1200/p,79799#specifications Would this be suitable for use with a DSLR and t-ring? Apologies for the idiot questions, totally new to all this and lots of overwhelming info out there.

[charred kindle]

Yes

[lethal thunder]

For the Tring adaptor, do I need another part other than this to mesh with the eyepeice or is that all I need? https://www.astroshop.eu/t2-rings-lens-mounts/omegon-camera-adaptor-t2-ring-compatible-with-canon-eos/p,2416

[rotund current]

the focuser might be too high to work with a dslr but it's hard to say by just looking

[lethal thunder]

I'd need this as well, right? https://www.astroshop.eu/barrel-adaptors/omegon-adaptors-t-2-to-1-25-nosepiece/p,33230

[rotund current]

yes

or the 2" version

[lethal thunder]

The telescope says it comes with 1.25" eyepeices so I assume I'd need the 1.25" one? (Again, honestly don't know)

[rotund current]

the focuser is 2" with an adapter for 1.25"

[lethal thunder]

Oh, I see! Good catch, thank you.

[rotund current]

again, it's not guaranteed your camera will focus with it

not without some modifications

[lethal thunder]

Oh, you're right, just looked it up, it won't focus.

[rotund current]

that's normal with most telescopes intended for visual

[lethal thunder]

That's fair, I guess I'll leave it for now.

[lethal thunder]

So, been doing some more research, it seems some telescopes you can remove the tube part to be able to get a DSLR to focus? Any idea if there is a list of known good telescopes that can do that or is it just a folly to try and force a DSLR to do astro with a telescope?

[amber kayak]

I dont this this would have prime focus with a dslr

You'd probably want an imaging telescope which is made for camera's like a dslr. Which has a similar focus point with cooled astronomy caneras

[rotund current]

Wdym tube part?

[lethal thunder]

been doing more research and came across this https://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/skywatcher-dobson-telescope-mc-90-1250-heritage-virtuoso-dob/p,33071 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oySbet53cnI It's an Maksutov telescope so should be suitable for use with a DSLR? Seems a reasonable price too.
