Thoughts on a beginner AP set-up?
Hi guys,
After a year of using my DSLR on a crappy old (and broken!) 30 year old tripod, I've reached the limit of what my current set-up can do and I'm ready to dump some cash into a decent beginner rig to shoot the sky. After some research I've decided on the Orion ED80T scope and HEQ5 pro mount. I'll be using my D3100 to image for now, and plan on purchasing an auto-guiding system in the future. Obviously I need a T-ring adapter and a FF, but which one? I guess I'll need to buy some mounting rings to attach the scope to the mount and some Barlow lenses, but I'm not too sure what to get.
Is there anything else I should be looking at purchasing, or anything I should change?
Any help is appreciated.
