Thanks for the confirmation raymo.

I did realise the NEQ6 was probably overkill for the ED80 but I think it is likely I will go further once I recover from the initial outlay.

I think I will be happy for a while learning in the sub range that you mentioned. I took an image of Orions Nebula the other night with my 300mm 3.5/f lens on the tripod and enjoyed the process and what I got to see. I was really quite surprised at how quick things move at 300mm. I've been use to 15mm. Had to ratchet back to 2sec shutter speed to avoid extremely obvious star trails. High ISO, lots of noise, the image was pretty ho hum but it put a smile on my face seeing it.

Regards,

Ashley
