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 ?

Hi Brendan,
You didn't say if you had used an IR/UV filter in your images?
That would help focus the stars better IMO.
Your first M83 is far better than my first M83...and I had a motorised
GEM to take mine! Well done!
