Hi Peter,
Thanks for the info.
At the moment I'll probably go with the meade dsi and some time done the track I'll get a better ccd.
I am leaning heavily towards the meade 127 f7.5 apo at the moment, which comes with a 2in focuser.
This may still all change as I am thinking of the g11 gemini which would add another $1500 to the std g11, which would leave less for the ota.
Other than the goto system is there much differance between the 2 mount? Do I need a goto system? Is this mount overkill for this setup? - ood upgrade path thou! these are just some of the dilemas I am facing(To many, but I suppose you have all been there and will be there again too imho)
I realise I have started this thread in the wrong section, thought this was the beginners equipment section not beginners Astrophotography. So should probably start another topic in the correct section to descuss the pro's and con's of above.
The advice on the cameras was worth the mistake, and more advice greatfully accepted.
Peter, You said in your post "The beauty of the DSI2
is that you can set a star and the camera will automatically track on the star as it takes successive images (note this is not to be confused with guiding with a separate camera/scope)" How does this differ, is it because when the DSI2 is imaging, its not tracking, therefore having to make bigger movemnets when it tracks between images?
Regards
John
