Thanks for the replies and advice (and the welcome, Dennis!)
I think this community is great - full of helpful people and very useful resources. I am constantly amazed (and a bit jealous) at the amount of gear some people won. Still I am thankful that our PTA provided the money for our 10" dob. I (and our club members) are still continuing to see new and amazing sights. Now I just have to convince my wife that we need to get a 10" SCT (and that we don't need another car/trip/house extension/food etc
)
While the physicist in me would love to get the DMK + filters and do imaging properly, I guess the Toucam or the LPI are the way I'll go. On one hand I like the idea of the LPI being more instant and perhaps more accessible to a 14-15yr old, but on the other I like the idea of collecting the images during one observation evening and then spending some lunchtimes processing the results etc.. So maybe the Toucam + Registax.
Where can I get the Toucam? (We don't have it in NZ to my knowledge)
How easy is it to attach to a telescope?
Can the LPI be used with Registax (And would it be worth it?)
Has anyone done this with a 14-15yr old? (Any school pupils reading this?)
Thanks again
Stephen
