Guidescope.

Got my ED80 on saturday , poped it on the Sirius EQ-G (HEQ-Pro), its been cloudy and rainy though so i havent been able to try it out yet with my 350D, i did try afew test shots on terrestrial objects 600mm camera lens!

got brothers cheap 60mm 800mmFL refractor that was rotting which he has absolutely no interest in, thought maybe i can use it for a guidescope.

ive been reading lots of things as usal, maybe i should by a book when i have the money. otherwise ill keep surfing and reading, ya know thats how i found iceinspace!. seems to be a regular habbit us computer people have eh?

so i will probly mount up the cheapo guidescope, when i can find and afford some proper guiderings for it, may as well manually guide it to start off with the reticale.

i can just stick in a barlow 2x for 1600mm guide and that would give me low error tracking for 600mm ED80 right? i guess i will have to try it out.

later ill probly want to autoguide, something budget will probly be good for me, what about one of those toucams?, i have no experiance.

guess i just want some experianced opinions

alittle chit chat.

and i wanted to say hello =)

i dont say much often, but im here watching.

Cheerio

Adrian.
