This was a nice test. I know almost nothing about this hobby. I'm glad to find out I predicted correctly that the narrow field of view on the 127 Mak would yield the best image under poor seeing conditions.
Thank you! That's fine, RU-vid provides a lot of good help for beginners. Yes, it's really a good scope for bad seeing. It depends more on the aperture than on the field of view. A scope with a big aperture but a very narrow field of view would be affected by seeing as one with a big field of view. The field of view should depend on what you want to do. Planetary scopes usually have a narrow fov and those for visual observers or deep sky photographers offer often a bigger field of view.
I think exactly the same thing. I live in France in Haute Savoie, turbulence is almost always there. So I have a Mak 127/1500 on motorized EQ5, and a 250/1200 Dobson for galaxies and nebulae. I don't take photos.
Good to know that you share my assumption 😊👌 You're equipment sounds very similar to what I have at home right now (127 on avx and a motorized 200/1000 dob) 😁
