My scope has the Fastar secondary and I was wondering about people's experience with Fastar imaging?
Tracking is OK when I get the scope nice and level (especially using local align with SkySafari), but not exactly perfect, plus I have the original tripod, so stability is an issue. Consequently, I was thinking it would probably only be useful for planets?
I think that Starizona Hyperstar is the only set-up currently available, despite Fastar being on current scopes? It is nearly as much as the scope cost me though.
What reasonable (but not too expensive....) camera would work in this set-up?
I am only vaguely interested in imaging so I suspect the expensive of all this will be out of any reasonable interest x cost ratio, but thought I'd ask here for opinions.
