Hi all!
well, just forked out some cash for an EQ6Pro and ED80.
now, I have three questions-
1. Field flatteners:
I believe a lot of the forum members use a WO 0.8X field flattener. is that the case? Are there any other options?
From optcorp:

(I think this is what people have but it is discontinued:

2. LPS filters
So, I have seen that there are a few that are used by most people, an Astronomik CLS, UHC, UHC-E, UHC-S(?) and the IDAS LPS filter.
Now, i have seen great photos from members using different filters, which makes the decision hard.
I live in suburban melbourne, near Southland Shopping Centre, so the sky is quite bright. Perhaps that will have an impact on which to choose.
So, i welcome comment on what would be the "best" option for the LPR filter for an ED80.
3. Guidescope
Is the Orion Short Tube 80 still the go?
Will that mount directly onto the ED80?
Do I just use soemthing like teh "Guan Sheng special dovetail mount adaptor - FF561" from Andrews?
thanks in advance for any replies.
cheers,
DJDD
