Hi guys.

I've just bought the above mount online, due to the lack of skywatcher mounts out there at the moment, and I'm considering an Apo or refractor of some kind to do some imaging.  My interests are both solar system and DSO so I know I may have to fork out for 2 scopes eventually as I really enjoy observing too.

I currently have a Skywatcher 200 and a motorised eq5 coupled with an astroeq for tracking and goto.  I have imaged with this setup before but I now want to progress.  I have an unmodified 1100d and a qhy5iii426c colour camera.  I have a decent laptop or tablet too.

So.........suggestions for a decent imaging scope guys?

I would like to keep the budget to roughly what I can sell the eq5 and 200p for.  I don't mind adding to it for the right scope though.

Your suggestions and advice will be greatly received and I'm really looking forward to trying out that great sounding new mount when it arrives.  Will be nice to experiment with one of the lesser used mounts so to speak.

Clear skies.

I have been absent from the Stargazers Lounge for a few years and I've just taken delivery of this camera in readiness to resume my astro imaging hobby.  I have purchased a used Skywatcher 200p on a motorised Eq5 mount along with an astro eq and a few bits and bobs.  I also own an unmoded canon 1100d which I'll eventually use for some dso imaging. This kit is similar to what I had a few years ago.  I'm looking forward to trying out this new camera as both an imaging camera and an autoguider.  it sounds rather good.  So I'm wondering if anyone has one of these and I would love to see any images you have captured with it?
