A few more thoughts from my previous post.
For anyone contemplating buying an 8in F5 newt it is also camera ready and no mod's are required, however the focuser drawtube does extend into the OTA by about 15mm at focus. Not sure whether this a concern yet.
The camera I am using is a K100D unmodified, which is an issue for me as I can't use any of the EOS software around, this means I have to use a stopwatch for exposures.
So where my I have stated 35sec exposure subs they could be anywhere from 30sec to 40sec's. I aimed for 30sec's but fiddling about meant some were longer. May have to buy a DL1100 body.
Can someone tell me the background to IC2602 ( Southern Pleiades), are they stars or camera noise?
Regards
