Suggestion in Telescope
1150mm, 254mm, Newtonion Reflector on EQ5 Mount with dual axis DK3 drive, QHY5 Camera, Canon 300D + Kit Lens, Yangon, Myanmar.
Sorry I forgot the link:
Parabolic Newtonian 254mm (10"), FL=1150mm
I and my friends can't decide on choosing above mentioned telescope and Orion® SkyView Pro™ 8 Reflector with GoTo Pointing!
Orion® SkyView Pro™ 8 Reflector
Prices are not much difference but china telescope include GPS external module, and electro focuser. I prefer Orion because they include 8" mirror. Any suggestion ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I think the only concern is the quality of the mirror of 10" Newtonian... 10" will be better as long as the optics is decent, but I don't think many had experience with this scope... may be you need to search the internet for review.
Anyway, although Orion 8" got a smaller aperture, but it is a proven scope... so may be a less risk choice.
Just my S$0.02.
Have a nice day.
I'm a bit confuse... :?: :?: You mean the china 10" Newtonian come with GPS external module and electro focuser, but no mirror??Prices are not much difference but china telescope include GPS external module, and electro focuser. I prefer Orion because they include 8" mirror. Any suggestion ?

10" China Telescope come only with 6" Parabolic mirror.
So I better choose orion? Do you have any idea whether I could find that scope in S'pore? Because I'm visiting S'pore very soon. And I wish I could join your imaging section.
Thanks,

Hi,
Have a nice day.
Base on the scope specification, I think may be they just "cut and paste" the packing list from the 6" Newtonian and forget update the packing information. So, may be it's better you check with them as it's not logical to put a 6" mirror in a 10" Newtonian tube.10" China Telescope come only with 6" Parabolic mirror.
Which scope?? May be you can check with Astro Bargain or McGill. They may be able to help you get one.Do you have any idea whether I could find that scope in S'pore? Because I'm visiting S'pore very soon.
You are welcome...And I wish I could join your imaging section.
Have a nice day.

Hello Weixing,
I ask you because I'm thinking to buy one 10" Maxvision telescope from them.
It looks good to me and quite cheaper than others.
Thank you so much for your kind information.
Cheers!!!
