Y'all,
I have about $2500 to spend on my next upgrade (lucky me!). I sold a bunch of music gear I wasn't using. Goal is to either (1) upgrade my camera or (2) purchase a larger scope. Here's the scoop.
-Current Camera: 533 MC Pro
-Current Scope: Askar 400 FRA quint
I want to capture more detail, and I would like to go up in FL/Aperture. I most want to capture a lot more of the finer detail of my targets, and a close secondary goal is to be able to capture more detail in medium-size galaxies (smaller targets than, say, Triangulum).
Considering:
-Replace my 533MC Pro with a 2600 MC Duo
OR
-Purchasing an Askar 107 PHQ or Askar 140 APO Triplet (w/flattener) to have in addition to my Askar 400 FRA.
I'm really torn, but maybe there is an easy way to decide that I'm missing. Any input would be *very* appreciated.
