So! First of all i am new here and generally new to contrail spotting!
I have a Nikon P510 currently and im wondering if a 900mm dobsonian telescope with a DSLR would have better effect?
On the specs of my current bridge camera it says it has a focal length of 1000mm so i want to know if a 900mm telescope is good for contrails?
Thanks!

Re: Need help with a Telescope!
Hi and welcome!
To be able to help you I need some more information, i.e. exactly what telescope it is. 900mm is not enough information, aperture and focal ratio are big factors as well. Most of us here are using 8-12" (diameter) 1200mm focal length dobsonian telescopes which fit contrail spotting perfectly.
