Re: Beginner with 4 choices, pls help
Here is a good guide to collimating (aligning) the mirrors for best views.

Now, the motor topic as Lady Fraktor mentioned could be useful, which would be the cheapest option from this list?
https://www.astroshop.eu/mountings-acce ... s/15_55_76
Or perhaps it should not be a priority for now?
(thank you all for the great help so far!!)

It's a convenience. But for using higher magnification on the moon and planets it will become a priority. If money is an issue it could wait a month or two while you get used to the other features. Collimation gear is a necessity.

Re: Beginner with 4 choices, pls help
Now finally, the 10mm eyepiece?

Anyone of these is ok, or does it need to be Plossl?

I'd just get decent Plossl eyepieces for a start. Get some experience before you get fancier and pricier.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2019 8:13 pm No it does not need to be a Plossl but the Plossl eyepiece gives you good quality views for the money paid when starting out.

Re: Beginner with 4 choices, pls help
Anything missing? Filters or so?
Context: this is a birthday present (for myself) so I want to ensure I get a complete pack.

Re: Beginner with 4 choices, pls help
This will be your low power/ searcher eyepiece to start with.
The basics are good, hold off with filters as good filters are expensive so avoid the dyed glass that most places sell in beginner kits.

They have managed to take a considerable amount of € from me over the years

This is the one.
The one from Bresser which would be compatible is not available right now.

:sigh:
Perhaps I order everything else and hold on for the motor for later...

For everything else, to actually know how and where to start doing what when I get the telescope, any good reading please?
Online or book.

Re: Beginner with 4 choices, pls help
The book Turn Left At Orion is a good one to start out with.

On the motor, I just got an email from them saying that only the other one I shared is compatible...?

Now: telescope, alignment gear, travel bag (important for me!) and book.
Later: 10mm, 32mm, motor
Sounds good? Thanks a lot!
