[QUOTE=Mun;930975]Alright sounds like I should be upgrading my mount by a few people
Would this mean something like an eq5/6? And also, for astrophotography, what would I expect to need along with the mount?QUOTE]
Hi Josh,
I have the EQ6 and think its fantastic. All Depending on Budget i would settle for no less than an EQ6. If you want to do Astrophotography I started off with a Canon 1000D i got some nice results from that camera. Im sure though that the Canon EOS 60D is not that expencive as if you are going to use your scope as the lens then you probably only require the body of the camera. But i think its good to have at least one lens for the camera then you can sit it on top of the Scope and take some nice wide field images. cameras are a personal preference however.
You will also require a guide camera, there are a few to choose from and different ways to guide so have look into those.
this is what i started out using and only recently upgraded to a CCD camera which is a completely new Challenge let me tell you!!!
Hope that helps and im sure others will have some fantastic suggestions to help you. But try and get to an Astronomy club and have a look at some setups and ask heaps of questions, the one thing i noticed when i started out is that Astronomers are very happy to offer advice and help.
Good luck and Clear Skies.
Robert
