Ice and Dave got to me first i am afraid when i first started. They said not to get so wrapped up in imaging that you forget to look with your eyes. Dave's little talk at star camp sign sealed and delivered that home.
And now ice has mentioned that he can get good amounts of detail over a longer period of time. Arrrgh, just when i thought i could try and save money!!
But asimov is like a kid in a lolly shop with his toucam.
And then vingo's double stars have me hooked as well.
It is starting to become clearer, thanks to you guys:
I can see that a 7mm UO ortho for planetary
and a 7mm (radian or pentax xw) will be in the case in the next few years.
I will then look to a meade, pentax or radian 11mm (2.5x powermate = 4.4mm)
After that a nice wide field in low power. So 4 eps instead of 3 and a case to fit these 4 and the two powermates.
Visual is here to stay for me, as no doubt once i get tracking the new field of dso's will open up, but as Dave has said. "There has never been a image of Tuc47 that is as good as your eye can see!!!"
Sorry bird, I will continue to do both and have two masters (you and dave47tuc)
Thanks again All!
