Thanks Chris. Yea I spent a lot of time (and money) jumping from setup to setup looking for something that completely suited me and was producing the quality of images that I wanted... This setup has not let me down once.. Since getting this lot all together, I've taken exposures up to 30 minutes with perfect tracking, I've not lost a single exposure to a guide error, not lost exposures due to focus shift... I am really quite happy with this setup, and will stick with it for say, 6 months, then I do plan to move to a KAF-8300 based camera, either the FLI Microline 8300 or QHY9... This is only because my local light pollution is such that narrow band imaging is my best option.. However we'll have to wait and see what prices do in the coming months... Work is starting to pick up and im getting a fair bit of overtime at the moment too, so im saving my pennies.. Aside from the camera, the setup will remain unchanged.. oh, with the exception of a feather touch focuser and robofocus... just cause im lazy
haha..
Thanks again for your kind words mate, I'm glad you've liked these recent images as much as I have...
