You're welcome Carton
I started off long FL and yeah, I agree Marc, it's hard. Add to that my stupidity or sheer stubbornness, I was doing it on a cheap Alt-Az mount lol. I'd have to say though, what I learned making it work has been invaluable.
As far as the dedicated camera goes, you're out of my league now, I've always used a dslr so I can't offer advice there but plenty of others here can.
