See this is the thing, i know its alright, but i dunno whats "good" Hubble space telescope is "best" but? ill get a feel for it.
yes a focal reducer is one thing that i have said they have to get...

With this in mind and what im producing and the equipment i have access to, can the astro guys suggest suppliers/options for

*Wedge for the LX200R
*Mount (im thinking GEM)
-remembering they have already brought a fully optioned 2m high dome and they are qwibbling with engineers and architechs as to where to plonk it. They are wanting to remotely opperate it too.
*Guide scope and CCD (the meade base has a input for a guide scope)
*Auto focusing setup.

Ill be back out saturday if the weather is nice enough this time ill give it a go and see what boundarys i can push in exposure times before star trailing becomes noticeable! any rough ideas ?
