Hello guys! I am new to the hobby, about 4-5 months by now. My current setup is Skywatcher 72ED + Reducer, Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro, ZWO533MC Pro and ASIAR Plus. I have aquired some pretty good images for the equipment, shooting from bortle 4 skies. I was looking for an upgrade and was really looking into the Quattro 150 telescope from Skywatcher. I have some experience with newtonians in the past so collimation wont be an issue! I was considering the latter due to the really fast speed (3.45 with the coma corrector) and wide aperture. I could get the same images at half the time, in comparison with my current setup. Please give me some recomendations!
Searching for the best upgrade! Newbie here help XD

What’s the total weight of the 150 plus imaging train vs what your mount can reasonably guide with?
TS Photon 150/f4 would be my choice at that price point.

Looking pretty nice! I assume the coma corrector is not included! You think this is better quality than the Quattro?

I think the mount can surelyhandle arround 9-10 kg of gear

Yes, and lighter too.
