Hi, It has been a while since posting - Long story short I started a new job with early starts so haven't been able to do much stargazing, Then I made a mess of my Skywatcher 150p OTA by trying to fit a new focuser on, I did it...........Badly So, as a result I have just purchased a Skywatcher 200p and HEQ5 Heavy duty Mount (With Sysnscan Goto) The idea being, I want to still enjoy viewing but also start my way into Astrophotography. I have all my previous eyepieces etc but am looking for advice on the photography side. 1. Which Camera? (Is the P900 still a viable option?) 2. Autoguiders advice yes or no? Which one costwise? (Keeping budget lower to start with) 3. What Software is needed / recommended? 4. Anything else I should look at ? I am going off what I have read online that I need and may have missed bits, so any advice is welcome. I would prefer to keep budget lower to start with and upgrade as I go along. I do need to keep costs (Fairly) low as the initially outlay for the Telescope setup was a fair whack and I have just been signed off Work thanks to Angina and crappy high blood pressure Hope it makes sense, The meds are making my head a little fuzzy Thanks Carl
