Do you think i should stop yet ??

[Kai]

Because my wife does

Along with various eyepieces and imaging kit

It's a cracking setup Kai! Pretty much what I envision as what i'm aiming for in a few years when i've got bored of trying everything else hehe. It's a rig to keep for 10 years! I think the only thing I'd change would be the 66 for an 80 but thats just nit picking hehe

[GordonCopestake]

Oh, and maybe a C925 rather than a C8...

Once you start you can`t stop.

My wife took one look at my new EQ6 with 200mmm Newt attached and thought it was a rocket launcher

But then i would have to change the mount to a (insert mount name) ,and i couldnt have that could i ??

And i think i ordered the Adm rings too big as they can go upto 125mm..........

Thanks for the comments though

You're on a roll; don't stop!

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

You've only just started mate, you need (in addition to what you have), at least an 8" Newt for DSOs, a pier for imaging, and an observatory. Plus a CCD camera, filter wheel, laptop, dewbands, RDF, etc.

Do you know what this setup is capable of? Faintest visually? Largest, smallest observable? Do you know how long to set exposures for edge-on galaxies as opposed to face-ons? If you can't answer these questions, and dozens of similar ones, you're done for now. get to know your setup before adding to it. JMHO.

No, but you'd be better off with a 20" Ritchey-Cretien, so stay away from Meade.

Hee hee

That looks like my retirement setup. I retire in about three years.

[Kai]

Something like this would work for me. The company is located in Flagstaff and supplied the same instrument to Kitt Peak for their outreach program. Wonderful instrument.

Just for fun, http://www.rcopticalsystems.com/rc_cine.html, they make them like this, too.

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

That's only about $60,000 US.

If I could afford to retire I couldn't afford one of those and vice versa.

Don't even contemplate being at the end of your journey yet. There is much much more you can frighten your bank manager with..
