that 70mm tube for $49 would work fine for guiding.. I've been considering snapping it up for just that..
Then yes, Adrian could use the 70mm + ED80 as guidescope / imagescope setup.
The EQ6 for 1499 from andrews brings forth another option Adrian....
$1499 for an EQ6
$70 for rings for the 10"
$139 for a low profile focuser for the 10" (to achieve focus with a DSLR)
$50 for the 70mm guide scope
$100 for a webcam to autoguide
$139 for a GPUSB to go from lappy to mounts guide port
$50 for 70mm rings..
$2047 Total.. Leaving enough for a 350D!
Mount the 10" with the 70mm piggy backed on top of it. wack in the dslr, set up auto guiding with a webcam through the 70mm and there you have yourself a very nice imaging rig, including autoguiding...
Thats actually a very good option now that I think about it...[EDIT: I should say.. Now that Chris and I think about it...
