The guide camera is a Lodestar.
The photos taken with it are in my signature - Flickr photos.
The Corrector is an RCC, the OAG is a TS9 & the spacer is a Varilock.
The filters are a 2" type that came with the camera & are truly parfocal.
( I don't have to re-focus for filter changes- except for the Ha bought separately )

Mind you - the price for all that may be above your target budget.

cheers

Wow, Allen you have some beautiful images there! Looks like you have this setup working very well, but as you say it's a bit above my budget
The CCD it self is quite reasonably priced but once you start thinking about filters it adds up quickly.
This brings me back to the DSLR question, it might be worth while to save money and build a mono 1100D with super cooling and then get a nice set of filters

I was thinking of taking a short cut and buying something already to go, doesn't look like that is going to happen

What do you think of the RCC? Is it needed? I thought at F6 you wouldn't need much correction

Cheers
Jo
