Hello,
Been a lurker for some time and have decided to register as I'm now looking to get into the hobbie properly. I'm looking to take deep space shots and looking for a setup that will see me through as knowledge and skill grows but isnt too hard to start with. My shopping list is the following:
HEQ5 Pro Synscan Goto Equatorial Mount
Skywatcher Equinox 80 Pro Fluorite ED OTA Telescope
Skywatcher Startravel 80 refractor (guide scope)
QHY5 for guiding
http://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/qhy5-guider-amp-imaging-camera_d3159.html
PHD software for guiding
http://www.stark-labs.com/phdguiding.html
Will be using my Nikon D50 attached to the 80ED and use the startravel 80 to piggy back and use as a guide scope.
Am I missing anything??
