Gear for Astrophotography
Hi all
I posted sometime ago about the gear I was getting to put into my backyard observatory. I had a lot of set backs and had to stop everything for my observatory.
As things have now settled down I'm now getting back into looking at my gear list.
What do you guys think
EQ8 mount only $4799
GSO 12" RC $3699
G4-9000 $8750
G4 7 filter wheel $780
Astrodon Gen 2 E LRGB $1225 US
Astrodon 5nm Ha $875 US
Feathertouch 3" automatic $1335 US
Astrozap 12" Shroud $69
AAG cloudwatcher $400
ZWO ASI 174mm guide camera $772
I already have a guide scope (Skywatcher 80x400)
Sequence Generator Pro $138 US
Pixinsight $230 Euro
PHD 2 Free
Have a missed anything in astro gear or paid software?
I can get the G4-16803 for $600 more but is it worth it. Has anyone found a comparison between the 2 cameras on the same object? The G4-9000 has a better QE than the other camera.
I have already done the arc pixel size and field of view
G4-9000 Arc pixel 1.01 Field of view 51.6 X 51.6 Arc min
G4-16803 Arc pixel 0.76 Field of view 51.9 X 51.9 Arc min
