Thanks for your reply eric

Adam, you refer to the use of any filters with OSC resulting in 'horrible Colour' balance, can you please enlighten on that assumption, as it contradicts what I have read and researched elsewhere, eg: The Optolong L-enhance duo band filter which I have read numerous articles on its recommendation for use in Bortle 6 + skies, in particular with the ZWO range of ASI OSC. regards Eric

Hi, Thanks, I guess I will have to wait until January and give it a go

Thank you for your reply, it has helped answer my query prior to purchasing the camera. Eric

OK, Thank you, yes it is 400mm FL, sounds encouraging, I am buying the camera in January . I am not looking for long exposure ie using a guide camera, but hoping to grab short 1-2 min subs and avoid rotation. Eric

Quick question plz Will I get enough stars 10+ in Sharpcap pro PA just using the ZWOASI533MC Pro Cooled Colour camera with the Skywatcher espirit 80mm triplet, I have the Polar Alignment scope for this mount Skywatcher AZ/EQ5, but have found it to be of no use due to it being mounted in such a way that my right 'weak eye' cant focus the thing lol, and getting my left eye up to it is like having to be a contortionist. regards eric The ota is f5, the camera is 1" square chip

It has had a name change for some reason I think it now means Electronically Enhanced Video or Visual Astronomy ( or something like) it all means the same thing really, using a dedicated Video Camera to capture DSO's.

2STAR replied to Wavseeker's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Hi, If your sky is anything like here in the UK, then you do not get that many good nights per year, studying the night sky is an option if you live in a good area with not many clouds like here in UK North, forget getting a small scope or binoculars. -
The Atik Infinity software is amazing in producing short exposure images on a laptop screen either Alt/Az or Eq .

Telrad finder and right angled finderscope fitted
2STAR commented on PaulM's blog entry in Newbie - 8" Dob
Hi Paul, I had the same as you, both RA finder scope and a Telrad on my scopes, I found the Telrad to be far better so removed the finder scope as I wasn't using it, (a tip I was given regarding the finder scope is to keep both eyes open when looking through it.) -
