New camera

Posted By Emanuel Chacim

Hey guys, how are you? I`m thinking on starting astrophotography and i`m not sure which camera should i buy! I`m thinking on the Pentax K110D , the Samsung GX-1 S or the new Canon EOS 400 D! I`m a completly rookie, and i was hopping that you could give me some feedbacks!Thanks, Emanuel

Pentax

Posted By Emanuel Chacim

Hey guys, there`s a question i want to ask: i`ve always heard in various foruns that for astrophotografy canon is the right choice, but i have never see no one post or talk about taking astrophotos with a pentax camera! So my question is: would you think that a K110D or a K100D with shake reduction do the same as a canon XT or XTi camera? It`s because from where i am standing the canon is about $100 or a little more expensive!Thanks,Emanuel

New scope

Posted By Emanuel Chacim

Hey guys, how you doing??? Well, i need your opinion on purchasing a new scope, and i´m having some dificulties choosing the right one!! I´ll explain: i own a Intes MK 66 deluxe maksutov mounted on a Celestron CG5 and i want to buy a apochromatic refractor but, one that makes real diference to my mak!!I saw one on the website of telescope service (www.telescope-service.com )that maybe could fill my needs, the Astro-Professional 130mm Apo Triplet; i know that a Takahashi, a TMB , Tele-vue or another this level would definetly be the correct one, but i didn´t wanna spend so much money!!So, suggestions....Thanks

INTES MK66 deluxe ota

Posted By Emanuel Chacim

Well guys, it looks like i still need help!!!This time is regarding the Mak: i`ve start watching whith it and i`ve noticed that, problably due to transportation, it`s out of colimation! I was observing Venus with a 20mm plossl eyepiece and the image was showing that very obviously! The problem is that it`s my first Mak and i`ve never colimate a mak! I use to have a 6" newton( wich i sold to a friend of mine) and from time to time i was doing colimation to the scope, but how do i colimate the mak? The same way? Does anyone have a pdf file with the steeps for doing that so i can print them? One of the gaps of the scope was that it didn`t came with any manual or papers!!!!Thanks guys,Emanuel

Hello Bill!! Well, i think that it´s already available!! But i´m only not sure, because i dont know if it´s available for dealars or customers!! Anyway follow the link to see the 127 Ed triplet and on the descrition you´ll see that the 152 Ed Triplet it´s also available!! I believe that`s only a matter of time until we see them in the most knowned trades markes for the average customer!!
