Hey,

Just wanted to say Hi. I am really new to the who astronomy thing. I have got a very keen interest in Astrophotography and i am aiming to start learning the craft of deep sky imaging. I am looking to purchase my first telescope and mount next month and i can't wait to start learning. I look forward to sharing my voyage into the far reaches of the universe with you.

Hi, warmest greeting from Bali... 
Can't wait to see your progress in DSO imaging :)
BTW, what kind of telescope & mount you gonna purchase?

Cheers,
Ketut

 

Hey Ketut,

i am looking at purchasing a 8 inch Ritchey-Chrétien reflector astrograph. I have done a bit of research and have found that for DSO imaging these are fairly decent.

The mount to go with it will be the skywatcher HEQ5 Pro mount with Go-To capability

Cheers

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

I think 8" RC is unsuitable for a beginner specially if you don't have an auto guider yet.
May I know, why wouldn't you start with a short refractor for less stress? IMHO.

Hi Ketut,

As part of my set up of my AP rig i will be purchasing the following items along with the telescope and mount

  • 2" Camera T-Adaptor
  • T- Ring
  • Cannon EOS 5D DSLR
  • Finder scope (most likely 8x50mm)
  • Auto guider

 

At some stage down the track i will be adding an additional telescope to the line up.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 5inch scope maybe a refractor style and full set of eye pieces

This is going epic purchase. I plan on doing it right first time.

Cheers

Trevor

Wowww...epic purchase indeed.
Just curious, have you considered adding a FR/FF in your list? Plus a thin OAG maybe? What kind of guide camera?
Ohhh, why wouldn't you go straight with a mono cmos camera instead of DSLR?

Cheers
Ketut

Hi Ketut,

 

to be truthful, i am not too sure on the monochrome or ccd cameras. before i make the leap in to a specialised astro camera like that i want to do two things. the first is more research and second is to perfect my technique. from all accounts imaging with a dslr will be quite enjoyable, but as i get better a monochrome or ccd camera is on the cards. 

do you have any information on these type of cameras?

cheers 

Trevor
