Hi,
I have been attempting to counter drift in RA on my eq5 for astrophotography..So far i havn't had any success..I have been useing an 80 mm short tube refractor but i think it musn't have a long enough f ratio or something..Does the f ratio of the guidescope matter??What sort of scopes are good for guideing??and how do you normally mount them to the main tube, in my case an 8" newt??i have been useing an old flash mount that i fashioned onto the body of the newt...
any tips would be greatly appreciated..
cheers
