Hi
Looks like I will be going that slippery slope and abusing the plastic.

Getting more nebulosity from longer subs you will find that your DSLR is too noisy and you will want a cooled camera.
I guess there is no point in getting an OAG until I get a better camera as the DSLR is the weakest link as far as long duration subs go.
Plus the issue of the size of the light cone after moving the Primary forward to accomodate an OAG. Wow 88mm secondary thats nearly up there with the Ritchey at 95mm.
I think until I replace the DSLR I could use my 9x50 finder off the old 12.5in and get a guidecam for that. That will give me enough exposure time until the DSLR noise is too large. Hoping for 5min subs.
Later a decent focuser with a motor that can be operated from the notebook.
Then later after I buy a new washing machine and keep the Mrs happy, I'll get a decent imaging camera.
Thanks guys
Bill
