Hey guys.

So I thought I would sort of repost in this section as I got no love in the other thread. Its been a while since I've had anything to do with Astro stuff. Ive been OS for 6 months and since been back I've been unemployed (end game for astrophotography haha) until a few weeks ago I've picked up some work finally.

So I've got a laptop sorted. I was just wondering I could get some advice on (and where to buy!):
- Guidescope/guiding camera setup - want a decent setup for a good price..something I wont have to upgrade?
- Heating gear... cheap that'll do the trick?
- Focusing - pretty sure I want to replace the piece of junk thats on the ed80...please help here as I'm a little overwhlemed...obviously I'd want something quality but not too expensive?
- EOS Clip in Filters? And which ones essential? (Ha 12nm most likely first choice)
- Focal reducer?

Basically I know I’ll be upgrading the scope eventually, so what I really want to do is make sure I spend enough money on quality to get some optimal results for the gear I’m using now..without forking out a ridiculous amount. I mostly want to be able to capture some ok data with my equipment so I can learn more about processing etc so when the time comes to upgrade I know what I want and mostly what I’m doing!

Thanks Everyone in Advance!
