Got a few more questions regarding the viability of the Sky adventurer mount.
At this stage from what I've seen, the HEQ5 mount is a bit out of budget right now.
What kind of Focal lengths would I need to capture some decent details in some of the brighter nebulae's (Lagoon, triffid, M42, Eagle etc).
I've currently got a 200mm lens on an APS-C Sensor (So effectively 300mm approx).
How big a lens (or FL) can the sky adventurer handle whilst maintaining tracking accuracy?
And is the autoguide feature on the sky adventurer actually worthwhile using given it has no tracking in declination? (It only adjusts in RA).
If i could get 3-5 min subs using guiding with a 200mm lens I think that would allow me to image many objects to keep me occupied for a long while.
But I want to be sure that this is a reasonable expectation of the sky adventurer mount. (I've read some people can do 1-2min at 200mm (unguided I believe) while others are getting 4min subs with perfectly acceptable results. see below.
