Beginner Astrophotography Telescope

Posted By Robert Guzauskas

Jerry,

Take a look at the Hardin StarHoc 8. It's a bargain at $499. And on a good mount - not the one it's sold with - the fast f4 StarHoc 8 can take excellent film or digital pictures. Oh, you will also need a Baader Planetarium Coma Corrector for another $100. Bonus: The Hardin OTA weighs in at a mere 15 lbs.

1) Yes, very nice.

2) And, very red. Is that the native E200 rendition or is it filtered or processed?

3) What scope, mount and drive did you use? How long was the exposure?

Cast Aluminum Rotating Rings

Use aluminum plate of the desired thickness, Use a compass to mark your circle then cut. Plywood is an excellent aluminum substitute.

A local machine shop could do it cheap and fast and squared.

M106 LRGB - 22 hours 20 minutes

Brian, and every Forum member, why bust your chops for 11 hours for a very fine photo when a HyperStar rig can do it in..., 30 minutes?? Or so the users claim. See also the Yahoo, Fastar group.
