I present myself. Even if I am 63, I'm new in astronomy (start 1 yr ago).
I have a Celestron NexStar Mak127 with GoTo and for planetary I am satisfied. Also for deep sky, in very black environment, you may seem something. Obviously the 5" dia limits the collected light but I selected it because it is easily transportable.
Now I would like to take some planetary and deepsky pictures using the ASI 120 MC camera that I am planning to buy (not bought jet). Does anyone has a similar experience? Have I any possibility to take some good picture with those instruments?
Do I need any focal reductor?
What are the best and easy to use acquisition and stacking programs? I red on several forum that the software accompanying the ASI 120 MC has some problem. Is it true?
Sorry if I request a lot of information, but I do not want to waste my money in buying the camera.
Thanks in advance.
