Re: [APML] discussion about newtonian 900mm 8" telescope.

Hi Tommi,

Morning from Cyprus!

Tommi, I have a 1000mm 8" f/5 Newtonian. For observation is very good! I
have it for the last 4 months. When the weather clears here in Cyprus, I
will do some piggyback for the first time. I bought the dual axis motordrive
with hand control and a 9mm reticle eyepiece for guiding. In the future
(this summer)  I will buy an OAG for some deep sky photography.

I think for someone who starts in AP is a good setup. I'm not expert on
this....I'd appreciate the opinions of the experts here! :o) I'm here to
learn.

Wishes from Cyprus.
