90mm short tube Orion OTA ?

Posted By Chris Watts
Would this type of scope make a good low cost piggy back system, and possible refractor for some CCD Imaging?

Thanks,
Chris

Celestron 8" SCT dovetail plate to mount to CG-5?

Posted By Chris Watts
I got a CG-5, and ordered a dovetail plate from ScopeStuff. But is is not going to fit the slot in the CG-5? I don't think they send the correct item, or I ordered the incorrect item. Where can I get the dovetail plate I need to attach the scope to the CG-5?

Thanks,
Chris

CCD Imaging and Capture Software and Vista?

Posted By Chris Watts
I am looking at a couple software products, Meade Astrostar, and Photoshop for Astrophotographers. Do you know if these products will work with Windows Vista? It is very difficult to acquire a laptop without Vista these days.....

Thanks,
Chris

If I am going to try some CCD imaging with my Celestron Ultima 8... As I read and learn more, I understand that focusing may be an issue. I also notice that these focusers are expensive. Any recommendations.....

guiding ccd cameras

Posted By Chris Watts
Where can I find reasonably priced guiding CCD cameras? I keep reading about a small camera called StarFish, or something like that. I cannot find where it can be purchased?

Thanks,
Chris
