HI all
im just finalising the purchase of a sec hand Meade 12" LX200GPS with all the trimmings (eq wedge, dew heaters, hood etc etc) ... arent I lucky
well im interested in CCD imaging using a PC .. Im in South Island, NZ and the ideas of standing out in the cold NZ winters dont leave me with much enthusiasm!
So.....
Id like to look for a CCD imager that will introduce me to imaging .. do some half decent planet, lunar and perhaps an intro to DSI and then also be capable to being used as a guider - as I plan to buy a QHY8 once I have some time under the belt!
Id like to be able to use some of the support software like K3CCD or similar too to assist me in capturing ani's etc
So whats a good recommend ... my astronomy friend says avoid meade imagers ... so whats else fits the bill??
perhaps an orion or even a QHY5
help!
thanks!
Simon
