I'm planning on buying a new CCD with a complete set of accessories. I would like to know if anybody has some tips or things I should think about before I'm going to purchase the set.

Setup:

- QSI 683 WSG-8

- Astrodon 31mm Tru Balance E-Series Gen. 2 LRGB

- Astrodon 31mm 3nm Ha

- Astrodon 31mm 3nm SII

- Astrodon 31mm 3nm OIII

- Starlight Xpress Lodestar

- Baader MPCC

- 6mm T2 threaded spacer, to place the MPCC at a distance of 55mm of the CCD

I already know I will be missing the NII emission lines with the 3nm Ha filter, I think this will only be an issue when photographing planetary nebulas, so I can live with that and can decide to buy a NII filter later.

I'll be using this equipment on a 10" f/4.8 newtonian with an electric Moonlite focuser on a NEQ6. Not the best, but I have to start somewhere

B.R.
