So I am getting pretty good at terrestrial photography but I want to get in to Astrophotography.
I have six questions.

1:What telescopes are you using?
2: What are the pros & cons of your telescope?
3: If you could do it all over again would you buy anther make and model telescope?
4: If so what make and model
5: What Adapters and Lenses are you using?
6: What accessories do you wish you had?

The telescope industry is in the midst of a major shakeup. The parent company of two of the major brands , Orion and Meade, has suddenly shut down all operations.

Neither brand is available at reputable retailers like B&H. Warranty services are not available because all avenues of communication seem to have been closed.

The hobby seems to be moving towards electronic “smart telescopes “ like SeeStar, Dwarf and others.
