Thanks guys. There are some great astrophotographers on Iceinspace and I'm happy to learn all I can. I'm interested in deep space and planetary work. For the time been I'll stick with my DSLR for deep space, but if I'm going to get a guidecam, then something that can give nice results for planetary work would be nice.

I'm interested in getting a guide and planetary cam that will last me sometime. I'm open to suggestions and prices as a result (maybe up to $500-600). I would like something fairly straight forward to use, so was leaning towards colour, however if mono is a lot better (with filters etc), then I'm open to suggestions either way.

How does the QHY-5LII guide and planetary cams compare to those already mentioned?

Any recommendations on where to buy these cameras from? I know Bintel has some Imaging Source range and like going there for their good advice.

Also for guiding, I think I need this http://www.bintel.com.au/Astrophotog...oductview.aspx. Is this correct for the LX-90? How does it compare to a 909 clone?

I'm tempted by this for the guidescope http://www.bintel.com.au/Astrophotog...oductview.aspx. after your feedback.

Thanks again,
aarong
