Hi Dave

Like you, I'm new here too and still scopeless as well. I'm interested in the nexstar SE range, and depending on finances (and what the missus will let me get away with), it'll be a choice between the SE 4,5 or 6. I note you want to get into astrophotography and, although I feel that I have tons to learn before then, would want to do likewise at some point in the future. I was wondering what the SE6 is going to be like for astrophotography. Was this something that you researched and made a deliberate choice for as opposed to other scopes?

Hope the scope arrives soon so I can hear what you make of it.

Cheers, Martin

Hello Martin how are you

yes i did a bit of looking around and decided to go for the celestron SE6 i haven't got it yet was told it would be hear last week but still not got one , its a good price at £699 and you get 10% off for being a member of S/G

I'm emigrating in November so i wanted something i could carry easy but i will only 2hr from japan and china so it will be easy to buy stuff cheep after all its all made there

have a look hear at what this guy has done with the mount from his old celestron 8i mount

Thanks from me too David. I watched that guys DSI slideshow with more than a passing interest, as I have that camera as well unfortunately I am still in the equipment preparation stages, and not used it yet. What I saw gave me quite a boost.
