Hi everyone,
just came back from holiday of nights. I am asking for a
Orion Equatorial Telescope Mount or a Orion SkyView Pro EQ Mount at a reasonable prise. My Nexstar's mount is going out o fashion now, so i am looking for an exchange.

Hehehe, the answer to your question is a definite yes. You will be able to see the planets using whatever equipment, even your naked eyes. However, the quality and magnification comes from the scope and the eye piece, but don't worry too much, the nexstar series will do just fine in viewing planets....

The skies in downunder are so dark, unlike here in sg.

40 years, i bet ir is a excellent one!

The scope is good, alright. And welcome.

Wow!! Good control over your exposure and good job for the stacking!

Welcome to the forum. The two scopes are both good for beginners but in my opinion you shoud start out with the galileoscope. It is cheaper and you trains you to understand the night sky without the use of a motor.

The day after christmas, I think i may just make it.

Nebulae literally are expanding gas clouds with dust!!

Welcome! I see you got a pretty good start on the Nexstar 6. The problem is most probably what they had mentioned. Try to see if your finder is properly aligned in daytime. Focus the scope first on the moon or any other bright object before adding the barlow. This will allow for the best focus.
