astrophoto with meade 70etx

[scoob-1979]

hello everyone, just wondering if anyone ever had any success using the meade 70etx for AP? was out last night viewing saturn through my 200p but because not motor driven yet might try the smaller scope for long exposure shots next clear night. should work ok in theory but has is there any images out there using this scope or similar?

plus anyone got any tips on focusing my 200p whilst webcam attached as when i touch the dials the slight wobble makes it very difficult to get it bang on!

thanks

I have the same problem with my 200p. The focuser is quite aggressive and fast so I find I'm constantly over shooting thr sweet spot. If you touch the focuser, it can also push it in.

You can but the dual focuser that comes on the 200pds which is more suited to AP. I will be doing this sometime soon!
