EOS adaptor, 50 AUD value

Built in self guiding, saves having to buy a guide camera and guide scope, 500 AUD value and no flexure.

Glad you are happy with your purchase, look forward to some good images

i might ask what would the package you have listed be worth brand new?

i have to say though i prefer to use more megapixels as i am now used to the digital and dont want to go to a smaller field and have all the guiding gear etc, still i respect your personal choice.

bintel have televue spacers but they are 50 bux each or a set of 4 for 170
that all depends if they have the actual spacer needed though, it shouldnt be that hard to work out aslong as you know the distance from the chip to the t-ring

Alchemy,
I use a selection of the Baader T ring extensions, available from Baader dealers, but in my case, via Alpine Astro in the US. I have the 7mm, and the 15mm. I could do with some more.

As someone who has pushed a Canon 5DH to the limits I congratulate the designers and GAMA etc for the QHY8. This sort of technology used to cost many tens of thousands of dollars.

We can all waste our time arguing about where the stray electrons come from. It is far better to go out and image.

Everything we do is a compromise. We just have to work out which compromise is the best one for our needs.

We imagers have never had it so good as far as choice is concerned.

Once all the parameters have been optimised for the QHY8 it should be a very good astro camera.

I look foward to seeing more images.

Bert
