Hi Tony,

Yeah, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't sold my 80mm APO but, MofW&F stipulated something had to go if I wanted a solar scope... so.....

I'm currently hunting for an 'cheap' HEQ5 Pro or similar to mount my solar scope on & perhaps invest in a small APO later down the track.

I now have a couple of focal reducers, still working them out as well as learning more about the camera's I have, might have to give this one a crack... people will tire of me constantly posting M42 I suspect...

Cheers

Carlton

Given that you're doing ok with a SCT, you'd get amazing images with a shorter focal length refractor.

I want to do some imaging of smaller objects with my Edge 8, but I've still got a long list of unfinished projects with the TS115.
