Guest Eddy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Should this get me going with using cg5 and 300d. OTA - http://www.firstlightoptics.com/pro-series/skywatcher-evostar-80ed-ds-pro-ota.html Flattener/reducer - http://www.firstlightoptics.com/reducersflatteners/skywatcher-focal-reducers.html Case - http://www.firstlightoptics.com/telescope-cases-storage/aluminium-case-for-evostar-80ed.html Maybe a bahtinov too, but will have to source one for use at the lower f ratio.

Guest Eddy Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 At this rate I may aswell buy Stephens I have most stuff listed besides rings, clip filter n dovetail. Can someone explain why I must get the filter straight away, ive been fine so far? Im guessing the losmandy is a sturdier dovetail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
