I love this place!
I only caught about half of all that, but I'm going to reread it. I appreciate the discussion and will learn from it.
I already have a guide scope. It's a cheap 60mm short tube that works really well. I can get the long exposures (not as long as I'd like due to light pollution where I live).
I can't move beyond my LXD75 at the moment, so weight is a huge consideration. Not too bad for planetary since it's only carrying my webcam. But for DSOs the guide scope and DSLR weigh it way down.
Anyway, I'm going to go out and get a glimpse of Jupiter before the fog rolls in (I'm about 1/2 mile from the coast) then come back in and read this thread again.
Thank you all so much!
