Hi! I've found you two recently and have watched many of your videos and read much of this site, truly amazing!! Such great images even with the inexpensive scope and T3i! I've read your equipment guide and what you use and will likely do something very similar. Thanks for posting so much information. I was wondering what your thoughts of jumping to the Orion 10" f3.9 astrograph instead of the 8"? I have canon prime lenses 300 f/4L and 400 f/5.6L for birding and with a rented Ioptron Skyguider on my Manfrotto tripod I got excellent shots of M31 and M42 and a nice amount of detail for 1-2 minute single shots, I was thrilled! Your 8" scope produces amazing pics so I would be happy with that, just debating if I should take a bigger jump since I already have 300 & 400 lenses. I plan on getting the newer Atlas II or perhaps something else of that level or more. I have canon 60D, 6D, SL1, and plan on getting a 90D perhaps (I'll be sticking to dSLR since I am already heavy into photography and don't want to invest a fortune yet, might astro-mod one of them since I have a few). Thanks for any advice!

First telescope purchase is a post article that is shared by the author named as the Tristan Steward in year 2020 and the month of October. These are watched as the recent watching of write my assignment that is to made the videos with the much of the sites.
Hello, I wanted to ask you for advice. Soon it's gonna be my sister's birthday and she's just got into the astrography thing. I really wanna make a good resent this year and thinking about the telescope. So, my question is, can you recommend me one of these? or should I check on something else? Thank you!
Hi Tristan and thank you!
Considering you already have some great telephoto lenses, jumping to the 10" Astrograph would probably be a good idea! You won't be able to fit some large targets like M45 or M31 in your your shot unless you have a full frame camera, but for every other object the 10" is superior to the 8" and should give you better images! Either way I think you will love this telescope, just don't forget the coma corrector and laser collimator 👍🏻
Hoping this helps,
Antoine
