Coops Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hello Folks,Last night my in laws handed me some cash....which was nice Anyways i don't seem to be getting any where with the ST80 and my webcam (SC1 BW) and was thinking of upgrading the OTA to maybe a 150.Is the ST80 and the web cam up to the job of DSO imaging??? if not would getting the ST150 be a wise move. If not what would?We are talking about £300 so not loadsa of money.If I don't use the cash soon the wife will Thanks Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Klevtsov Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Do you have an EQ mount for the ST80? It should work OK for DSO hunting using an LX webcam. It would even be better than an ST150 as most DSOs are quite big and the webcam chip isn't.Something like a motorised EQ5 should do the trick.Kaptain Klevtsov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
