Wow Fred and I thought the RCOS looked great and I wondered if a G11 would do it justice, until I saw you've really gone all out getting the Paramount.
Your shots on the previous rig look great by the way, love to take you up on that offer and see your new rig in action later this year. I can only wonder what you'll be able to do with that!
I'm curious, given our light pollution can you do shots much longer than 10 minutes without getting too much ambient sky glow (I'm alot closer to ELS park than you and their mega-watt arc lights are only there to annoy me)! Do you get long duration shots by stacking or using filters or is it that your ST8XME simply leaves my poor little Canon 400D in the dust or all of the above and more?
What tips might you give an enquiring astrophotographer in his first year who has spend maybe 1-10th the time and under 1/5th the equipment budget you have devote to the night skies?
