    Thinking of getting this camera, will be using it just for guiding http://www.opticstar.com/Run/Astronomy/Astro-Imagers-Opticstar.asp?p=0_10_0_50_126 This should be good enough, any others in the same price range? too think about

    get a mobile phone adapter, and let them take their own pictures 1. Its interactive 2. they have someting to show others 3. They have something to take home, and maybe print 4. They will remember much more about the talk 5. Add at the end of the session, a Q & A, They will have questions, you may not have thought about

    Im in Charlton Mackrell, come visit some time, could do with some help setttng up the EQ6 Pm me where you work
  10. Frank the Troll
    I would say go for more than an EQ5, nothing wrong with them, but the EQ6 pro would be so much better
  11. Frank the Troll
    What do you currently have? If I could afford it, I could be tempted, but I already have an EQ6 mount and camera
  12. Frank the Troll
    Thats my impression also
  13. Frank the Troll
    I likely will, but will try out a very old 125 frac I have first (see my sig)
  14. Frank the Troll
    It seems a camera can be attached to the carry handle
  15. Frank the Troll
    Not on that site, but they do make some smaller ed scopes with decent glass, and some of there lenses seem pretty good Ermm intresting, yes it doesnt have a well known branded name, so whoe's to say? I have an 80mm f5 of theirs, its well built and solid, enven the lens cap is metal and screws onto the dew sheild
  16. Frank the Troll
    Pass on the newt have a 6" to play with
  17. Frank the Troll
    EQ6
  18. Frank the Troll
    Advice & opinions on this scope for astro-imaging please Will also use it for visual, is there something more suited in the same price range ? http://www.opticstar.com/Run/Astronomy/Astro-Telescopes-Opticstar.asp?p=0_10_1_1_235

    That would be fine then, I was thinking more in terms of heavy image processing If needed you could add an extra SSD in a cradle via usb, I upgraded my ssd, and kept the old one, and now use it for storage
  20. Frank the Troll
    Very intresting, and affordable too seems a shame its limited to just 8 gig of ram, upgraded my lappie to 16 gig
  21. Frank the Troll
    Thanks for the tips Olly. I have a very tight buget so every bit helps (life rich, cash poor)
  22. Frank the Troll
    I've asked about this myself, and got lots of different answers,, it would be good to have a defacto guide
  23. Frank the Troll
    I still have the st80, well for now that is
  24. Frank the Troll
    Cheers Terry, that confirms its the c thread I need
  25. Frank the Troll
