I have just purchased a Skywatcher ED100. I like it very much for visual and photographic. I also have a HEQ5 pro goto. They are a good match.

You wanted to see images, I have only a couple so far due to cloud and they are not very deep from the limited time between clouds so they are a work in progress. They have all been taken at prime focus. I want to get a focal reducer for the scope as well to make it a bit faster for those times when it's needed.

Here we have the Sun with an Orion white light solar filter, NGC6723 in Corona Australis along with some blue reflection nebula and dark nebula, M16 with the Star Queen and comet 2012 X1 LINEAR. All taken with an unmodded Pentax K-x DSLR except for M16 which was taken with a full spectrum modified Nikon D70s.

Paula also posted some images when I was asking about the ED100 in a post here. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...37&postcount=2
