Hello!
Please help me choosing my first setup for widefield astrophotography.
What i have now is star adventure gti mount, asiair and zwo 30mm f4 guide scope + asi120mm guide camera.
I'm thinking about buying a manual 135mm Samyang lens and asi2600mm mono(I have good mirrorless camera, so i dont want to go with second color camera, and a live under a very light poluted sky). Is it a good idea, maybe a can buy something better? (i considered redcat 51, but it is too heavy for my mount)
Also i have some questions about samyang, If I stop at it, I'll choose the canon ef version.
Do I understand correctly that rokinon 135mm and samyang 135mm are technically the same?
And i heard about tilt problems, do I understand correctly that i can fix them with zwo tilt plate?
What else (besides camera, tilt plate and astrodymium mounting rings) will I need to buy? I also know that I need a filter wheel, will I be able to achieve the correct backfocus distance with it and tilt plate?
