beginner imaging setup - opinions?
I'm toying with getting into imaging, and I've been considering a skywatcher 100ED black diamond on an HEQ5 Pro mount, using a DSLR to begin with.
from what I can gather it should be pretty capable, without being outside my budget. I guess I'm wondering a couple of things:
Will the HEQ5 will be a stable enough mount or should I consider an EQ6? I can forsee adding a guidescope to the setup.
Will that imaging setup have a reasonably gentle learning curve, or am I trying to scale Everest without having attempted Kosciuszko?
Where have people sourced battery packs from?
thanks.
(and of course if anyone is willing to try steering me away from this particular money pit they are welcome to try, as I have no wife or girlfriend to do that for me)
