Need help with Accessories..... :)

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Emanuele, I'll try to help, even though I'm not doing Astrophotography yet... (hopefully soon smile )

1. Scopetronix has tons of adapters, and I've heard good things about them, but I guess it all depends on what you have, and what you want to do, to choose which one you'll need...

2. A Wedge is REALLY necessary when you plan on taking LONG exposure photos. Alt-Az might be fine if you take multiple very short exposure shots (seconds, not minutes)

3. I've seen people using webcams as autoguiders, but doubt you'll find a CHEAP "REAL" autoguider for less than $500...

4. Depending on your scope setup/mount, and what accessories you'll have on it, you might need to get a weight balance set... (if you are in Alt-Az it is easier than in equatorial mode...)


I wish I could be of more help, but as I said, I'm not doing AP yet...


Clear skies!

That's one good shot Paul!
You have some very good detail showing on this one... (almost 3D)

Question: are you applying some of the different methods learned on the Wavelet exercise?



Clear skies, and keep it up!
