Julian & "dunk"
Thank you so much for your detailed information, I am just a real newbie however I do take pix of 20 to 30 seconds using my nikon D5100 using eye piece projection. Yes they are fuzzy for real detail but a great leaning experience which I will preserver with, have not looked at "stacking" images yet as not sure not computer can handle it. Basically the DSLR and adapters etc work well for star and planets plugged in to the Goto dob. It can be frustrating get focus etc but the pix even fuzzy are well worth it.
Eventually I will have a full blown astro photography set up so its a matter of building the equipment list slowly. The zwo looks like the next way to go.
You may have picked it up in other posts but the intention is to convert the Dob to an Eq5 or eq6 pro, using the 80/400 as a guide scope pluging in the zwo would probably give me a good basic set up for astro pix. I suppose you could say it's like building your dream home.
No doubt I will post more questions as the funds are available to buy moe gear and "er in doors" doesn't have too much objection.
Still keen on Big Dobs though especially SDM telescopes look so impressive....ah it is to dream
