Hi Rowland,
Thanks, I might be courageous to offer up a beginner's observation package, however, I might let someone else have a crack at the quagmire of adaptors, options, coma correctors, cameras, scopes and cooling, dew amelioration etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.....et al
I have my HEQ5pro, BD200N reflector, MPCC, Canon 1000D DSLR and Toucam for guided AP, however, I am
nowhere near experienced enough to have a crack at recommending an AP rig for beginners other than offering up what I have, which may not cut the mustard....I am yet to get the MPCC into the imaging train, there always seems to be something else to buy......my early pics are encouraging, but AP is a different beast to try and tame early on.
I did however post a thread on what to get as a starter AP package, which the experts here at IIS helped me narrow down to this gear, so maybe its a good starting point? Search for Obi Wan and you will see the thread I mean, lots of good stuff in there and some pics of my rig too....
Anyone else wanna have a crack at a beginner's Astrophotography package? I'm too chicken to try and add up all the different combinations and open the pandora's box......
Cheers
Chris
