Dual imaging setup - would this be a possibility?
well i have been thinking - yes i know thats dangerous. I am toying with the idea of getting another gliman special (127ED) to mount side by side with my existing scope. the theory or idea is to align the second scope to the exact location of the first, have the 2 cooled 40D's setup in exactly the same way, orientation and guided by one scope (ed80 that i have now) leaving room to mount the 60mm lunt on the new scope. That way i could in theory get double the exposure times for the same amount of time imaging. With the weather the way it is photon time is at a premium. My question is to modify a losmandy SBS bar or make up a new one? or is there a SBS bar out there already that would allow for this type of thinking. I do not wish to use rings? Also with the capacity of the G11 being 27kg, would this payload push the mount past its limits?
Am i nuts?
