So I'm looking into my ideal setup.

I currently have a Saxon 8" F6 Dob. Thinking I could put this on a AZ/EQ6 with my Canon 5D Mkii and start shooting myself some astrophotography.

But I'm sure it can't be quite that simple, right? I mean how do you actually mount the telescope? Do you need another bit of kit? A power supply? And how about polar alignment scopes? Filters? I'm already really stretching my budget. I worry that if I spring for this, there will be a heap of hidden extras that I'm not aware of.

Can anyone pls tell me the hidden 'other' things I'll probably also need to get set up?

Thanks

Markus
