Which Setup? :O
Okay, so ive been doing visual observing for a while now, and planning to get into astrophotography.
Now i dont know which mount to get and which setup.
I had the HEQ5 in mind before, with a GSO RC8 and the Orion SSAG Kit. But now i wonder if i should go for a NEQ6, GSO RC8 and mount my 5" F/5 Newt side by side and use that as a guide scope. Or would i be okay with HEQ5.
I will be imaging with my Nikon D5100 unmodified.
This whole setup is going in an observatory by the end of this year/start of next year. So its not going to be moved, unless i go to a Star party or something. I also plan to have it computer controlled.
I have a budget of $3000 but can go over by $300.
So
Q1: Would i be better off with a HEQ5 or NEQ6
Q2: Any problem with using my Newtonian as a guidescope with the orion autoguider
And
Q3: Is my setup worth it, or should i go with a completely different setup
Edit: I think i posted in the wrong section... Could someone move it to the appropriate section?
