Fastsst scope is 130mm at f5. Is a sextuplet, which has built in flattener as a result.
I also use an interval meter. Thanks for the advice on the software. I know i will go laptop eventually but staying with interval meter for now.

Pick out some bright targets, like Orion, and the Tarantula, and go from there. Howcare you controlling the camera? A simple interval meter will work, or you can start using BYEOS, which would need a laptop to connect to the camera. If your not at that point yet, just use an interval meter yo set up your run. Take some exposures and save them to your computer, then download DSS to stack them for you.
