Hi all,
Some advice please! I’m thinking shock horror, about getting into some imaging.
Now I tried many many years ago before a lot of you thought about looking up.
I use to use a basic SLR and film etc etc. Frustrating to say the least.
But a lot has changed and I did do a little Video work about 8 years ago. Little security camera attached to the scope onto a TV screen and recordings on a vcr.
Again things have changed a bit. Now web cams and lost of stuff I know not much about.
Now looking around the net everyone seems to use something different.
The Meade has LPI and DSI and there Celestron Nextimage etc etc.
This looks very nice,

But at a good price also. Then there is a Digital SLR pay any amount of dollars.
I would prefer to use my Laptop other than a TV monitor. But I’m not sure if a have a capture card in my laptop (yeh I’m an idiot
with these things)
I don’t really want to spend lots of money but want something that will work.
I would need to sell some eyepieces to buy that Gstar thing. I would prefer not.
As electronic things are outdated quickly.
Would a second hand LPI be any good? Or DSI? I have not heard great reports on this stuff. I’m going to Snake Valley in November so I hope to catch up with Bird and Paul for some advice on this stuff.
Would it be better with a second hand digital SLR and attach that to the scope so I can do DSO stuff as well as the Moon etc?
I have no budget to say I have a scope mount etc and laptop. But need a camera but I do not want something that’s no good. Also I don’t want to spend $300 lets say and its no good and I have to spend more money sooner than later.
I would be happy to snap the Moon for a while so I get use to things. I have a Fuji digital camera but can not attach it to the scope!
Thanks for any advice.
