Eccy Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi all, don't want to repeat the other stories of newness and passion, but I am the same!! Must say that I've had a few tips already & the quality of patron is first class! It's a pleasure to join a class group! Anyway, I have got a Coronado pst and love the dynamic nature of the observations. I am interested in getting a cak scope but don't own a night scope so don't know whether to get the dedicated scope or a night scope + filter? I was going to get a Meade etc 125, any advice? Astrophotography is a long term dream! Many thanks for all your time & advice!! Clear, dark sky's for us all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin66 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Eccy,welcome on board!I'd stick with the visual Ha PST and leave the CaK until you get into imaging. Some people have difficulty "seeing" down in the UV - easier with imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eccy Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm under 30, would my eyesight have degraded to that extent? Would the Lunt 60 refractor offer a good duality? Night scope, then diagonal cak filter on? Great advice from all so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin66 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 You should be able to see down to the H-K lines.Don't know about the Lunt 60 - I use an ED80 for my solar imaging which can still be used at night for spectroscopy. HEQ5pro mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eccy Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm going to follow up on the advice about the refractors. Have a relative coming from the USA & thought I would take advantage of the slight exchange rate. Many thanks and clear skies to all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
