Hi All,

After waiting weeks for my field flattener to arrive I now have the totally frustrating task of finding an adapter to reduce the flattener from M62x1 to M48 male. Can anyone please advise of a supplier? What have people used previously? 
thanks

Hi All, some advice sought.

I have on order a Skywatcher Esprit 100 and a ASI294MC camera, I intend to use a Astronomik CLS filter as well. How can I determine the spacers required in order to get correct focus.

the retailer suggests a “suck it and see” approach but it must be possible to calculate this! 
 

Hi All,

Just started with astrophotography, hopefully I will be creating some stunning images of DSO fairly soon.

I am considering the following setup:

Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro R mount

Skywatcher Esprit 100 APO scope

Some sort of config using a webcam etc for Autoguiding

Canon DLSR Body 

I would appreciate any comments on the above, I realise the above equipment isn't really beginners stuff, but I don't want to find myself upgrading in a year or two!

Being semi- retired  I have plenty of time, just waiting on some clear sky!
