    Yup, the price on these tripods are extremely attractive, they're the best bang for the buck I've ever found in tripods. And they'll probably last a lot more than any CF/aluminum tripod too. The only downside with wood tripods is their collapsed height, they're a bit long considering how much...

    Besides the scope, you'll need a Tmount (Tadapter+Tring) for Nikon, and a spacer, to take the most out of the focuser travel. I’d go for the skywatcher, as it will give the best price to quality ratio, specially with your budget. But why would you buy another brand body? If you have Nikon and...
