Hey,
I've started the process of buying all the bits and pieces to set up an astrophotography rig... I've already got a few things, and have a lengthy and somewhat expensive list of other things I need.
Just wanted to know if theres anything else I'll need..
Have:
8" newt, tube rings and dovetail plate
2 dslr's and a bunch of lenses... (3rd one coming soon)
spc900nc (lx modded) (hoping this can be used as a guide cam)
Still to buy:
EQ6 Pro
60~80mm refractor (guide scope: recommend me something...)
Im sure theres bits and pieces Im not yet aware of...
Plans are this..
both scopes on the EQ6, Nikon D300 attached to the 8" (prime focused) the spc900nc in the refractor for guiding using guidedog (or something else, insert your knowledge here) and my D80 piggybacked on top of it all with my 70-200 2.8 or 170-500 f/5~f/6.3 for wider shots than the 8"
Let me know what im missing, and more importantly, how much more its going to cost me
