![]() If looking to take pictures then you need a mount so Dobsonian mounts are out of it and the mount will really need to have at least an RA motor to track the sky. To attach a camera you will need a suitable camare adaptor for Nikons. Particularly, the telescope is good value for beginners and families who are just getting started studying the night sky. worst case, you'd have to shim it a bit with felt or velcro. The Orion 10015 StarBlast 4.5 Astro Reflector is a high quality telescope that will meet the needs of a number of types of users and doesn’t require a huge investment. any tube rings from orion that fit their 4.5' reflectors should work with the starblast as well. with the starblast, one might not be too shaky, but obviously, two would be much better. Will also say I have no idea on the size of the scope you have listed.Īny clubs around you that you could visit?Īlways a good idea simply to have some time looking at the various options on display and maybe someone could have a scope to sell. you'd have to use only one tube ring to mount it on a camera tripod with a 1/4'-20 adapter. Problem with the first scope is that you will very quickly want something a bit more in size. If it was £100 for the scope alone then I would suggest the Opticstar 80mm achro at £135 if you could stretch that far.Ĩ0mm isn't great but is a fairly decent start.Ĭannot see any 130/150 Dobsonian style scopes on the used side as they would possibly fall into the budget. It is on the 3rd page and the seller is in Scotland.Ĭatch is that I assume that the budget needs to include the scope and the mount, and is not just £100 on a scope. ![]() If it had a mount then it would seem to fit the bill. ![]() Says it makes a good grab-and-go scope and you tend to grab a scope on a mount. The problem is that the seller does not state if there is a mount with it. Just looked on UK Astro Buy and Sell and there is a Skymax 90mm Maksutov for sale at £100.Ĭomes with several bits and sounds good. My other question was regarding connecting a D-SLr camera to a telescope as i allready own a Nikon D40.what kind of money would i be looking to spend for a scope that would be capable of this? as i could possibly stretch my budget as this is something that really appeals to me.Īpologies if these questions have been asked a 1000 times before! The Orion StarBlast 4.5 Astro Reflector telescope features a PTFE-lined rack-and-pinion 1.25' focuser built to accept any 1.25'-sized Orion eyepiece or accessory. I just want a general all around telescope which would offer a decent improvement over using binoculars, but on a budget at this point in time. I've been looking around and the choice is staggering and the technical details/mount details etc are for a newcomer - quite overwhelming! If not, and my budget was roughly £100 - what would you recommend? but is it really going to offer a drastic improvement over binoculars? Recently got myself a pair of binoculars (Praktica 10X50's) which im enjoying (when the clouds aren't ruining everything!) but i'm still thinking ahead about telescopes.Ĭelestron Firstscope Telescope at Astronomia ![]()
