  21. do I need a good ortho for planetary ?

    1. Qualia

      Qualia

      Set a thread up, Daniel. It'll make for interesting debate, insight and opinion :-)

    2. ronin

      ronin

      No particular reason why it has to be an ortho.

    3. rl

      rl

      Minimum glass aficionados will insist on an ortho, plossl or monocentric on principle but any really well-made type will show you 97% of what's there.

      RL

  22. looking for a nice widefield lens for a 450d any suggestions

    1. Earl

      Earl

      any reason why not something like a tak 60, a few floating about on AB&S?

    2. Daniel-K

      Daniel-K

      i have seen them but with just buying the camera its put a dint in my scope budget so i was looking for a semi budget lens so i can save up again

    3. jnc71106

      jnc71106

  24. why does taking darks take so long!

    1. Amra

      Amra

      Yeh, such a major pain. :)

    2. Chris

      Chris

      I just take lots of bias instead, they only take 1/4000sec each. Don't use darks anymore, not worth it for sub 2 minute subs.

    3. Daniel-K

      Daniel-K

      how you getting on with your 130pds?
