Hello you very helpful people,

I want to use my Explore Scientific AR102 102mm Telescope and EQ6 for beginner astrophotography.

I got a Canon M6 not that long ago, around Christmas time, it's basically unused, I found out after that it's not supported by the Canon SDK (my initial reasoning was the light weight of it would be good for the AR102, and I could use it for night sky photos with the 22mm).

I'm a complete nerd and so I was wanting to have SDK support to se software.

Although the M6 does have Wi-Fi (could probably acquire the images that way?) and a remote shutter (so add a DSUSB?) so I was wondering if I could cobble a solution together but I'm a beginner so don't completely understand how big of a deal the SDK support is?

The new M50 is showing as having SDK support so maybe I just cut my losses and sell the M6?

I'm invested in the Canon interchangeable lens ecosystem, I also have a 6D but figure that would be too heavy for the AR102?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Richard
