Re: Telescope and Mount Recommendation


 

Tough one at 1000 price point for scope and tracking mount. Why a tracking mount though??

The ranger (Austin) in North Carolina that we work for their annual statewide star party is interested in getting an entry level solar telescope. Does anyone have suggestions?

Do you think this one is better than the Coronado PST?

If neither, can someone recommend one near the $1000 price point? I see High Point has a good selection but I'm not sure which is the best one to recommend to them.

Does anyone know a good tracking mount to use with it? The club has the iOptron Cube and it works great. Unfortunately it has been discontinued or I would recommend it. I think they would rather have an easy to use tracking mount than manual but I am sure that Austin would be interested in any recommendations we can give him.

Thank you!
