OK - brand new to this. Here's my plan - can I ask for comments and if it will work or not?
Here's what I have
- iOptron25 goto mount
- Nikon bodies (5100 thu d800) - unmodified
- 70-200 f2.8
- 1.2 & 2x converters if required
- laptop
- backyard Nikon beta
- possible purchase of Alignmaster
That's all I own, and being that I purchsed the mount means I'm into this about $1500 (camera gear previously existed) I feel I just want to start out with no further investment.
Happy to sub, but hoping to get at least 30-60s unguided to start with.
NZ user, so have heard of DARV, and Alginmaster, and would like to keep things simple before guiding etc.
Can I expect to grab some simple images up to 60s unguided with that kind of simple polar alignment?
Otherwise, I'll stick to my day job which at least pays me for taking photographs!
