Mike, you say to manually guide the scope, so that means i will be capturing frames and stacking?

In that case how much drift is acceptable?

You mention keeping the planet in the field of view so the auto tracking of the etx should be sufficient for this after auto aligning?

Well, the next step is to get the gear and give it a go!

Once again thanks and regards, Andrew.
Hi Andrew,

For planetary imaging your ETX-105 will work fine. It will track the planet long enough for you to capture enough frames for stacking. Because you will be working at a high magnification you will probably have to use the HC to keep the planet in the FOV. All you have to worry about is keeping the Planet in the FOV while imaging.
