Hello All.

Was hoping to get a bit of advice....

I come from an exhausted world of a modest refractor and an ALT-AZ mount.
For obvious reasons I would like to sink my teeth into imaging. Initially I will be using my 450D.

For a starter setup I have come up with the following

A Meade 102mm ED APO on a HEQ5-Pro Mount.
The Meade comes with a 8x50. Will that be sufficient to guide?
What king of tracking camera should I stick behind the guides scope?
There is alot of software out there.... any ideas?

Any advice would help me out a lot.

CHEERS
