Have a look at Stellarvue F50 (19 ounce) or the F60M (23 ounce). Even with finders there is no substitute for aperture since 30mm will just not have the capacity to show faint fuzzies, (magnification helps too). I had a 6 x 30 finder on my 6" short f ratio Newt for many years and then switched to a Telrad + wide field low power eyepiece combo on the telescope. I found the 6 x 30 very limited in what it would show (stars mainly plus only the biggest/brightest globulars and open clusters). The extra aperture helps in barren star fields where there aren't too many bright stars to use as guide posts. I have now added a Stellarvue F80M that I also use on another telescope. Now that one can pull in galaxies! |
