Hey guys Great thread and some amazing pictures! I have a Celestron nexstar evoulution 8 with it's original mount, any suggestions on a camera to get?

That is why we are asking for advice first

I am interested in getting into imaging, I have a Celestron Evoultion 8, and am thinking of getting a ZWO ASI1600mm camera https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi1600mm-cool-usb-3-mono-camera.html What else would I need to buy to go with the camera? Would these two be a good combination? and what sort of images would I be expecting to get from these together?

Why are you using a reducer? Sorry can't get rid of the quote for some reason.

Would this camera take good pictures with a Celestron Nexstar 8?

Great clear night last night, went to a dark sky spot in Church Stretton, got an amazing view of the Orion Nebula, the first time I had ever seen it

any tips on particular places there to go?

Supposed to be quite clear tomorrow, hopefully not too late

I'm excited to see Jupiter for the first time in the next couple of weeks

I didn't think it needed it, Just read in the instructions that it may need doing, What would the sign's be that it needs doing? When we do get clear sky's I am going to test with the unfocused method.

I'm reading the actual instructions that came with the telescope and am more confused than ever.

This may be a stupid question, I have a Celestron Nexstar evolution 8, does it need collimating?

The 8 yeah

Has anyone been to this dark site? and what was your experiences? Have made a couple attempts myself, first time was foggy, second time was closed due to ice, I am hoping to be able to actually go stargazing there soon haha

I think that is one of the best views in the sky
