Basic Guidance Setup
Hello people,
Just wanted to pick your brains (again!). Im trying to take a leap into astrophotography and purchased HEQ5 Pro mount and 200pds, ive also picked up(friends rate)a cannon 10d and currently in the process of the LXMod on the SPC900. Anyhow, i intend to use the scopes spotter as a guide (with the spc900 inserted into ep)and use the cannon camera for photos. Is it as simple as using the EQMOD (usb1), Camera(usb2) and spotter(spc900 usb3)using PHD to guide or am i missing something? I just wanted to know so im ready to setup once everything eventually arrives (and works). If so I do have an old refractor in the loft somewhere that could be used to aid guiding but understand I would have to change dovetail and although very light(and cheap)not sure whether the HEQ5 could deal with the weight on the mount with all the accesories loaded?
Thankyou
Rich T
