Proposed hardware

[viking58]

Hi all

Can I have your opinions re the following setup.

Have I lost my mind ? Glaring weaknesses or problems ?


EQ6 Pro

Meade ED APO 5000

SW80 as guide with Orion SSAG

CCD TBA


Does this setup limit my options ?

I would like to have an single adaptor on the APO to allow for both
CCD connection and viewing. Suggestions ?

Also if the SW80 is a suitable guide - best mount type(s).

Thanks again

Viking

sorry - should be Orion ST 80

Fella, dont think i am having a go ...

but why start this thread, when you started one yesterday along the same lines, and people are contributing to it?




Why the Meade Apo? the focuser will be 2" and will take a CCD nosepiece or 2" eyepieces respectively



EDIT : Yes, i use an Orion SSAG with an ST80, and it works great
