as for your mount choice - i reserve the right not to answer on the grounds that i may not say what you want to hear |
Let me try this from a different perspective. Then if I still make no sense my apologies for wasting band width.
Right now I am using my Sony Alpha a58 connected to a stable Slik tripod on one end and a Tamron 90mm 272E on the other. To cut down on vibration I use wireless shutter release.
On a good night I can produce a shot that is close to what I used to see through my 4.5" Orion short tube reflector. With the added bonus of colour.
I would like to move up to what I could see through my 8" Lightbridge.
Can I do this with a new motorized tracking 8" Dob? With a manual 8" dob?
Can I do it using the Skywatcher Adventurer (or some other camera tracker) with an appropriate lens attached to my camera.
If I'm just wasting bandwidth you have my heartfelt apologies.
