My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cuivlazygeek My Merch Store: https://cuiv.myspreadshop.com/ Get the SVBony SV503 102 with reducer: https://bit.ly/43MpIQi, plus get $20 off using code cuiv503 when buying from SV503 series. Plus until the end of April you can get a free clip microphone, if you're a budding astrophotography astronomy Youtuber or speaker :) Also as mentioned in the video, according to SVBony " In order to thank all our US customers for their support and out of concern for our US customers, our team has decided that for all US customers who purchase the SV503 102 before April 18, we will cover all tariffs. After April 18, US customers will need to cover the tariffs themselves." Or, if for whatever reason you prefer that, you can get it on Amazon (but more expensive and no coupon......!): https://amzn.to/4czLMQj Cameras I would recommend for the scope (especially for galaxies): Touptek ATR585M Cooled Camera: https://tinyurl.com/2psrdzt3 (with filter wheels and filter) QHY Minicam 8 (mono w filters): https://bit.ly/4gvvh8Y (Agena) or https://bit.ly/4jjxF4w (HPS) Of course the good old color 585 cameras are good too!
