That sounds brilliant May have a look at this...even though I did an Electronics & Engineering course many years ago...I am not the best when it comes to DIY but will have a go

Many thanks Nigel for the info. Sounds promising I will look into that for sure.

Hi there, currently use a Canon 400mm lens but at some point soon will purchase a SW Esprit 80 or 100. Once I get comfy with my setup I will want to go down the Auto Focus route with SGP running the process. I have taken a look into what I would need to get this up and running but cannot find much info. Can anyone advise on this at all? Probably fairly simple but have no knowledge at all. Many thanks for your time, Tom.

Very nice image. Loving widefield at the moment ?

How did you get on with this? I am getting the ASI183MM Pro shortly and will use with my Canon lenses (400mm and 70-200mm) I will get the other ZWO adapter that you need with the EFW. It says for 1600 but FLO say it should work fine with the 183MM also.

I am in the same boat at the moment. Will be shooting with a Canon 400mm L lens. Choice for me is between the ASI 183MM Pro and the ASI 1600MM Pro May have to go with the 183 due to money and will be able to get better filters. One thing I thought is you could get the mono and get LRGB filters and maybe just the Ha for now and the others at a later date. Good luck with your choice.

I live in Bortle 5-6 but spend a lot of time with family on IOW so below is that reading: Will be here though in just over a weeks time! Road trip down to Morocco. Packed all my gear into Motor Home and worrying I have forgotten something.

Nice, always good when you go out to accomplish a goal and you get there. One step at a time and we always get there Very right in keeping it simple, I always get side tracked! I now use SharpCap to PA as it is so simple and quick.

I got the NEQ6 and was in the same boat. Tried a friends zoom lens (Cannot remember exactly what it was now). Got fairly decent results. Found we had to tape the ring to stop it from slipping (Maybe just his lens). Was getting 3-4 mins unguided at about 400mm, over that and 4 mins was pushing it (Slight oval stars). I have used my Prime Lens (400) which I have got some pretty good results with (For me). I have held off buying an ED80 for 2 reasons, lens gets me good results at the moment when I am still learning and money! As I think you have already decided, give it a go and then go onto a scope later down the line.

Fantastic!

After 3 months of getting my first setup together, finally had a chance to try everything out. Other than a few initial issues with targeting got to grips with putting into practice everything I had read. Other than some dodgy colouring in processing, fairly happy with my first ever session. Tom.
