Hopefully your wife does not get access to this forum.

On a serious note, that is an impressive, expensive for me, list. I was hoping that slapping a dslr onto the 6" RC could achieve similar results. Perhaps it's still best advice to start by visiting the Astro society to get an idea. Do you, have you attended one in your=mine neighbourhood?

I wish I could stop looking at this thread - But I can't!!

My concerns are two fold - Firstly, collimation and then that in order to really nail it you need to spend probably as much as the 6" in order to get it spot on. Madness!!

If the OP would not mind, what kind of money, ball park figure, would one need to start from zero to acquire images like these, scope is £400 I know. But mounts, dslr, lenses etc. I can't quite get. BTW why this RC is not good for planets? I do have the drive to learn stuff if I can afford it.
