Best telescope with Nikon mount for under $1000?

1 year 1 month ago #741331 by Tim Giertz
Seeing all these new photos from NASA lately of deep space has gotten the juices going.  Now I know that anything I can afford will get anything similar, so let me get that out in the open.  But I would like to think $1000 can get me something I can have some fun with.  

Can you suggest one for that budget and I can mount my Nikon on?  

Thank you!

Generally , Tim ,  telescopes  don't come with brand-specific camera-compatible mounts .
You  buy  the telescope  and  then buy a 'T' adaptor mount for your camera .

Before you go investing into a telescope, I would recommend attending an astrophotography meetup first, see if you like it, then invest.
