Taking my next step!

Hi all,

Just placed my order with the lovely people at FLO ?

SW80 ed ds pro

cls filter

Already have an HEQ5 canon 100d. I’ve been imaging with my SW200 p on the above mount so really looking forward to using a frac for the first time.

any advice is welcome.

thanks

Just one piece of advice:

Have fun.

Clear skies,

You will like that scope!?

You'll probably find it easier than a Newtonian, but you will need a flattener or flattener/reducer and the right spacing.

Sorry missed that off the list, I have ordered the dedicated .85 from FLO as well.

thanks

I hope so, that thing is like a sail on a ?, and the weight really is pushing the mounts capability for imaging.

Exactly why I traded my 150p for the 80ed. Not regretting it.

I have both an ED80 and a SW 130PDS but only ever used the PDS in the observatory, so no experienced wind or dew on it thus far.
