If anyone can recommend another telescope for photometry with an ASI1600MM-C camera (3.8um pixels) ideally with all the required accessories (excluding mount) totaling less than £1000, though I might be able to go up a little more. I would prefer something with a focal length of 800mm or less to give me a wide field for selecting comparison stars. It will also need to get to fainter stars than my current 70mm f6 scope without needing longer exposures. Also it needs to be light enough for an AVX mount.
I’m considering the C6 + Hyperstar, Bresser AR102XS/460, StarTravel 120 (with upgraded focuser) & 150mm f5 Newtonian.
