Tweedledee Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Welcome to EMS Neil. How is your light pollution? I presume from your postcode that you have Lincoln's light to your north and west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi Neil. Sounds like you've got one of the greatest things an imager could have - an obsy and warm room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest knocker Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi Neil. Sounds like you've got one of the greatest things an imager could have - an obsy and warm room. Yes I have but still yet to give it its first light as only just got the electrics out to the scope. QHY5L-II is in the post so - wait out !

Orion Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Interesting. I just bought a QHY5L-II and an Altair Astro 60 mm miniguider scope. But I still need to get a GT81 and HEQ5 Pro. I could try the QHY5L-II on my 8.75" NR as a planetary and lunar imager for starters before the refractor comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice - I have 3 SLR lenses on flea bay right now As soon as they have sold I am ordering the SW 80ED Pro --- so things are looking up,,, (sorry had to be said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Are they Canon lenses and will they fit an 1100d Canon bayonet? Do you have a link and I'll have a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HykehamObservatory Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Welcome to EMS Neil. If you get stuck with anything, come to the imaging group at the Lincoln A.S. We have all grown up the hard way. You can see what we are up to on the website (lincolnastronomy.org). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
