Hi All,
I went into the archives and was looking for answers to what Barlow I should be using with My SCT CPC 800 and there was no real answer. Maybe this was because their gear was slightly different to my setup- dunno!
Anyway as you can see I have a collection of toys
1) Celestron CPC 800 Alt- Azimuth, 200mm apeture 2035 focal length F10
2) Canon 400D DSLR with tele extender
3) DMK 21AU04.AS CCD
4) Filter wheel
5) 2x Celestron Barlow and a selection of Plossl Celestron lenses.
My questions. There is a fair bit of intricate gear missing with the above toys to take quality Pics to work with, and could you help me to fill in the gaps to improve the quality and size with the shots of the planets and also deep space?
I don't need to worry about the Stacking program and also Photoshop, just the proper gear to take quality shots first up, as I see in the pics of different astro photography shots taken on this Forum sites.
Questions on Barlows versus Powermate and what size I should use to get the best quality would be of advantage.
You see I do not have the luxury of running down to the local astro shop as there are none around locally or in this state. I am asking for help before I just go out to buy something on the net I don't really need as there are plenty of sharks out there just willing to suck the money bag dry.. If you get my drift? Thanks
