Stisse Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hi all of you stargazers.I'm a newbie when it comes to astronomy, actually I'm going to get myself a Skymax-127 on a EQ3 SyncScam tripod as a birthday present in a few weeks. The boxes are currently securely stowed away by my wife, I really love her :-)Planning to use it for some astro photography, but I'll take one step a time, learning the equipment and how to navigate my way around the night sky first, then I'll continue with a DSLR if I can find a 3/4 adapter or my Olympus E5, later I think that I will invest in a web cam connected to my computer. Then I'll see in what direction my interest will take me. Who knows maybe I can use it for bird watching. //Stisse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesF Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Welcome to SGL.A 127 Mak on a synscan EQ3-2 will be excellent for planetary imaging and if you can fit a T-ring to the DSLR you can do full disc lunar and solar (with a filter) imaging too. DSOs may be more tricky, but there's plenty of fun to be had.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welrod50 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hello from me too and welcome aboard. I have EQ3-2 Pro SynScan which is a great mount and has so far lent itself very well to astrophotography, although I have yet to stretch its legs with regards to DSO imaging as it has simply been too cloudy and I have used it twice for visual to get used to it, then some photography last week (Moon and Jupiter).Let us know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
