Planetary Imaging - Scope and Mount options

[Fordos Moon]

Afternoon all,

I have been around the imaging forums a while, mostly deep sky. I have a SW ED80 / HEQ5 Pro / Altair pier, Atik460EXMONO combo which I love for deep sky photography, especially now as I get used to narrowband filters.

Over the last few years I have used my trusty SW200P /ASI120MM /filters combo for fairly reasonable planetary imaging but am considering stepping it up a gear.

So i was looking at the Celestron EDGE 11" and a suitable mount.

Would appreciate any thoughts as to suitable mount required for planetary ASI120MM imaging.

Thanks as always

Bob

I don't think that you will need the edge version for planetary imaging - the C11 will be great. I would try it on your HEQ5 first.

Ah yes I see where that would make sense, thanks Peter, although come to think of it I could do deep sky with it too...hmm food for thought!
