Hey there Janette =D Nice to hear form you again. I've taken your advice and signed up haha.
I was looking to spend about $800 - $1500 on a telescope (not sure if that's reasonable) and eventually another $400 - $600 on a imaging device that will let me take those ever so alluring nebula shots. I'm not sure about mounts at all and i'm not sure what they'll cost either =S That ED80 looks great. I'm assuming the $1400 doesnt cover the mount lol. I suppose if I'm to get into astronomy i'd better be prepared to pay for it haha.
I was talking to Adrian at the Open night last night (horrible cloud cover all night D=) about cameras/webcams. He gave me a great offer, if I wanted to come up to the observatory some time and he could show me the basics on how to take images =] Maybe that'll take me out of the deap end a bit.
I will keep an eye out for those packages for sale on this site =] Those bundles would be great to stumble accross.
But anyway say I did get that ED80, how much do you think i'd be spending before I start to get my first images?
Good to here from you,
Casey
