Hi Slawomir,

Yes, I have an HEQ5 Pro, Orion ED80T CF, and Olympus E3.

Thank you for the thoughts regarding guiding, I knew unguided would be limiting but didn't know how much.

Regards,

Don

Am I right assuming you already have the mount, telescope and a DSLR?

Then I suggest you to get an OAG and a guide camera first and have fun taking photos with your DSLR before you invest in a cooled CCD.

Unguided astro imaging is IMHO just too limiting.

Good luck with astro-photography, I am sure you will have great fun and a lot of learning with whatever gear you choose.
