Hi all

Hey guys,

Made a bit of a newbie mistake and posted my intro in general astronomy .
Just wanting to introduce myself myself.
I've always been fascinated with space and starting astrophysics at Uni finally gave me a reason (I told myself I needed one) to purchase a scope and observe the heavens.

My interest lays in astrophotogaphy. I just picked up an Orion ED102 CF and can't wait for this weather to clear to start using it.

My question is:
Will I need to autoguide to get nice detail in nebulas (e.g. Horsehead) or will many many many 60 - 90 second exposures be sufficient?

Cheers,
