Thanks for the replies guys. This is golden information.

Both the TEC180 and the BRC250 are 1260mm focal length. I am planning to get a Baader flourite flatfield converter from Astrophysics that does up to 8X with a 50mm corrected circle.

I have seen some nice Jupiter shots from a TEC200 fluorite so I am hoping its enough aperture to capture some decent images. If not I may pick up a C11 or something similar. I have a large PEC cooling unit with a radiator unit as well that could be used to either cool the scope or the camera.

PGR also emailed me and suggested the Flea 2 with the ICX445 sensor which seems quite sensitive.

What is your current camera Bird - the Dragonfly Express? Which chip is that one?


Greg.
