Hello Wal,

+1 for the GStar. Live it can do marvellous things. Stacking it can do really marvellous things.

As an example, I cannot see M1 through the eyepiece of my LX90-8" with an f/6.3 reducer because I live in a light polluted part of Sydney. The glare just washes out the nebula completely. With the GStar I can see the nebula in real time, though it does not have structure. Stacking a hundred images and I start to make out definite structure.

JJJJeanette has posted that she seem more with a ED80 and a GStar than visually through a 10"dob.

One thing which has been around but is no longer is a KIWI OSD unit, which gives GPS accurate time stamps of video feeds. Look it up, it will give you a good idea of what amateurs can do with modest equipment.

Note- I am not connected with Steve Massey or Binary Systems, though I do have a GStar.

Regards,
Tony Barry
