Thanks everyone for all the good advice. Seriously considering the Hyperstar as an alternative to a RASA. I really like the idea of switching from a visual F/10, to a F/2 by replacing the secondary. If I wanted to two scopes, then the money really piles up.

Not that keen though on adding a wedge based on things I have read.

My thoughts are, I should be able to get say 20 second exposures, and stack them, then post process.

Has anyone here used the GSTAR-EX3 with Hyperstar ? If this works out, then I will look at a better quality one shot colour CMOS camera.

I realize that without guiding and a wedge, I won't get those very dim fuzzies, but it should increase my range of targets quite appreciably.

The Hyperstar sounds good also, as I simply don't have that time to take heaps of long exposures. Have to work as well

Could people give me feedback I what I propose - have saved the money, and a burning desire to spend it

Cheers

Lance
