Righto, my tax return isn't far off (I hope!!), and I've long been toying with the idea of jumping into the dark side.
For those of you imaging through the ED80, is there any more adaptors etc that I would need before I start imaging at prime focus? I already have a t-adaptor for my DSLR, my main concern is whether or not the standard focuser can support the camera weight and if it is lockable.
My aim is to build a dob mount for my current 8" newt so my son can use it, and have a dedicated refractor to use for imaging. It will be mounted on an EQ6 Pro and I already have a guidescope as well (hopefully Santa brings an Orion Start Shoot Autoguider
)
Any and all thoughts are appreciated
Benno.
