Hi all, Recently purchased ZWO ASI224MC and I'm looking to add IR Cut and IR pass filters to collection. Looking for budget options to start with. Thank you

Hi Looking for either ZWO ASI224MC (preferred), ZWO ASI290MC or ASI120 (USB3) . Ideally I want a budget dual purpose camera to do guiding and some planetary imagining. But would also consider asi mini as guiding is my top priority. Might consider other cameras. Thank you. Edit: after bit of reading also interested in ASI290MC

Thank you This is very helpful

Interesting, I will give it a go

Thank you Fifeskies Good point about FOV of camera, i was only taking into consideration the guidescope fov vs the main scope.
-
Thank you StevieDvd Just to clarify you say "Software PA alignment basically does that by using your main scope/camera and platesolving" However I plan to be using my guide scope for that as I don't believe my DSLR can be used for this? Hence my question, does my main scope and guide scope need to be precisely aligned to the same spot?

Hi all, I plan to use my DSLR on my main scope and use my guide scope with guide cam for PA. I'm using AZ GTI in EQ mode, so no polar scope. Does my guide scope need to be perfectly aligned with my main scope to have good PA? Or same as for guiding just roughly in the same direction? Main scope will be WO ZS61, guide scope probably 50mm.

Wanted: SkyWatcher EQ Wedge and other Star Adventurer items
MichaelMan replied to MichaelMan's topic in Wanted
Hi @jif001 I forgot to subscribe to my own thread and missed this. Thank you for your message. I would grab this if it was the WiFi version, but as I've just purchased AZ GTI, I'm more interested in the 'pro-bits'. Best of luck with sell. -

Thank you @knobby Still learning, those are single shots, so far I'm unlucky with my stacked efforts, too much light pollution and my processing skills are rubbish. I'm using DSS and GIMP.
