Damn good shot for a so-called 'amateur class' camera. I remember the days when they (the pros) said that us shoestring budget amateurs could only dream of...
Hi Richard, I also have an NexStar 11 GPS. It is permanently pier mounted inside a roll-off-roof. I use the Celestron Heavy Duty Wedge #93655 and the...
Absolutely incredible image Steve. I am new to this and would like to know how many images where stacked and what was the length of each exposure? Hate to...
Hi Bill, Thanks for the reply I made a wedge but it does not perform very well on my U2k and I dont think it will support the GPS11. It is good to learn that...
Richard; I use a Celestron heavy duty wedge with the upgrade kit, but after using it for a couple of years I think there must be something better. After...
Beautiful shot Steve, the more I see of this 80ED, the more I'm impressed. Great optics! What were you guiding with? And it looks like you have very dark...
A good part of the sky for me. Had a blast last night. No fog, and wonderful conditions at long last. Tried M51 again, but my northern sky is always washed...
group, My first attempt at the Veil. Went for a small part of the western side, 'The Witch's broom'. The bigdog can't gulp much of this big neb at a time. Had...
Hi All I finally had a break in the clouds this weekend. Had a go at shooting M27 In Ha. The results are the last 3 entries in the Ed Sampson folder. (sorry i...
Group, While imaging the latest targets (M27, NGC6842, in my folder), I have found that my 8" SCT (CPC) can track well enough to render about 4 of 5 "keeper"...

MDK, Bill, Roy and Ed, Thanks for the comments. I use the 80ED piggyback on my 8" LX200, guided at f/5 with my DSI Pro II, after drift aligning with one of my...
Ed, very nice. The color was very good and the Ha combined with the color is very cool lokking. Since you have autoguiding and your stars came out nice and...
Steve, really great picture. If you want to get the entire Veil, by my best "guesstimate", on the Starshoot chip, it would probably take a 50mm camera lens, a...

Karen, I believe this to be the number one question asked at this or any other group. Many are totally confused by this (I certainly was) so don't feel alone...
Steve, Can't give better advice on the adapter. On the lens I can offer a suggestion. Keep in mind the 50mm lens will give you around 5.6 x 4.2 degrees....
