Hey guys, bit of an update so its taken me just over 2 months to get the setup that i always wanted, hard work, an understanding fiance, and a few rows (nothing major though! :( ) But i am glad that its turned out well and im happy with my equipment.

Hopefully will work as i want it to and give me some reasonable results! :)

Here is a list of equipment that ive managed to get hold of, its all brand new apart from the camera.

2 x flight cases

1 x Starwave ED80

1 x WO Zenithstar 80 (now sold)

1 x Revelation Astro 50mm Extension tube (not needed)

1 x EQ5 with motors

1 x 50mm orion guidescope

1 x USB Guide interface

2 x cheap webcams (not sure if these will work or not but have a lifecam HD on the way as a backup)

1 x 350D with Tring/Adapter

1 x LP filter

1 x Serial shutter control for camera

All cables etc etc

Lots of patience

Fiance that brings me sandwiches whilst im out with the stars

A dog that keeps me company.

Will report more once ive tested it in the field, but the good news it my soldering isnt too bad and it all works well! :(
