Help with camera for CPC800

[jason dufton]

Hi guys can you help me with my choice of camera for the CPC800

[Cornelius Varley]

DSO or planetary/ lunar ?

[RikM]

The telescope and especially the mount are more suited to planetary imaging. The mount is AltAz and the focal ratio too slow for satisfying DSO imaging. It is a great scope for lunar and planetary imaging though. Have a look at fast frame rate CCD cameras like the Imaging Source DMK/DBK ranges or the Celestron Skyris range.

I know if I get a wedge the scope would be ok for DSO's but planetary could be good for now

I'll look at the celestron cheers rik
