Hi Guys! Long time no chat!
I just moved, and my new spot is completely covered, so I do not have any room for
AP. However! I am planning a trip with my family and an RV up to the redwoods in about a month or so, and I'm hoping to get some shots along the way. Also, sometime before then, I plan to make a trip up to the dark site to try and get some shots for the first time.
I also have a second telescope that I would like to get a mount for, so my family can look through it while I take pictures. It is an explore scientific 80mm FCD100 triplet refractor.
My question is: Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, inexpensive, go-to mount to use for viewing with this telescope? Also, I'm using some inexpensive celestron eye pieces--will those be good enough for viewing as well (They came in the Celestron accessory kit with the nice box)? Any tips and tricks are welcome, too!
Thanks y'all
