Clarification

[Geuse]

I am just about to order a 130PDS with the hope of doing some imaging with it (350D).

I have got the Coma Corrector in the basket and the M48 ring adapter. 

There is nothing else i need to attach my camera to this scope?

Do you have the spacers that attaches to the M48? This will be needed so that you can fit the camera into the focuser and hold it in place. The M48 is only to fool the camera into thinking you have a actually camera lens attached so that you can operate it normally.

Is it the Skywatcher coma corrector or another brand?

I have the Skywatcher and all that is needed for use with the 150PDS is the M48 adapter. Can't advise on other brands though.

Hi,

Yeah it is the Skywatcher Coma Corrector, i thought i would need an adapter but that works as an adapter between the camera and eyepiece?

This is the one here: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/coma-correctors/skywatcher-coma-corrector.html

Thanks.

What mount will you be using? You'll need a tracking mount and, for DSOs, preferably one that can be guided. The ususal minimum for good AP is the Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount, but some can do well with a driven EQ5. See Aenima's images. They're brilliant:

Also, get 'Making Every Photon Count' imagers' bible before doing anything!

Good luck!

ah yes, which adapters -

I just can't quite remember:

M48 for sure - I don't think you needed anything else but the CC. Drop Flo a line, they'll be able to tell you. I've got the M48 on my camera, then a connector into which the CC screws into. But I don't remember anymore, how it was sold. Sorry...

HI Geuse,

Looks like its just the coma corrector and m48.

Let us know how you get on with this though, i suspect you are not the only one wondering about this. ( my mate   wants to know too )

For a look on whats inside the box:

Remeber that happy day Russe?

I just use the M48 and SW coma corrector with my 650D.
