Last question :)

[serbiadarksky]

So after searching and doing a lot of research, i got confused..

My question is..:

Will the NEQ5 Pro GoTo good for dping astrophotography with the 130PDS on it with guiding and dslr?

Or is the 130pds heavy for that mount?

[Peter Drew]

Should be a good combination.  

[souls33k3r]

You should be alright with that

[Glimpse111]

Its not ideal but will do the job

[serbiadarksky]

Finally, thank you.

I was really confused when they told me that this cant work becouse the 130pds is to heavy for the neq5, but i saw 150pds on eq3-2 and i was like "wait whaaat?"

Why it isnt ideal?

[Glimpse111]

sturdy mount is always ideal so I would say start with HEQ5 but I have seen people achieving results with Alt-Az mounts as well so NEQ5 is a good way to start

If i can i would really start with heq5 or even 6, but my budget allows me only for the neq5 which is the best in that price range

then close your eyes and go ahead you will be fine. It is a good combination so you are not starting with anything bad.

Mount and scope combinations are often visual combinations. Imaging puts a different demand on equipment.

Well will it work for inaging in this situation?

[Ibbo!]

I would get it , but start imaging using the mount and the DSLR with a wide lens and work your way up, get a feel and learn the kit.

Ibbo, i alredy have a bunch of images with star adventurer which i sold, it was extremly frustrating!

[Ibbo!]

With a telescope multiply that by 10

 

Start out with wide field on a decent mount .

Im going for the neq5 pro goto

[Ibbo!]

Yes  use that mount with the DSLR and wide lens.

later when you have a bit of experience try with the scope.

Your money, always your choice.

Enjoy!

 

[serbiadarksky]

The fact is that i will use max the 130pds nothing bigger

What you auggest to use for guiding?

What can and which program? 

[Merlin66]

Do you have a suitable finder to convert to a guider? Which guide camera?

I regularly use PHD2 with my HEQ5Pro (camera connected to mount via ST4 connection.)

No/no

I used phd2 a bit but never used pulse guiding via eqmod

[Merlin66]

Pulse guiding is an option...but first you need to consider how you will guide your 130pds....

A secondary smaller scope piggybacked, and a suitable guide camera (QHY5Lii or similar)

Well, firstly i think that im gonna use dslr with lenses than when i learn the mount i will use the 130pds

But for dslr i still need guiding for long expos.

[Merlin66]

If you want to having any guiding capability - whether using just the DSLR/ lens combo or prime focus on the telescope you still need a secondary smaller guide scope and camera......

 

[serbiadarksky]

I know im not that dummy..

All i asked is if you know a cheap guide cam..

[Merlin66]

Then you should know that you need to make a decision. I can't recommend a specific solution.

I do know the QHY5Lii works well as a guide camera.
