How to setup my cg5 mountPosted By Frederic Audet |
Hello all,
I'm pretty much new to astronomy and I'd like to have some advices from you. I own a C6-SGT which I purchased 2 months ago. I read about astrophotography and I realized to get good image I would need another scope (like a 80ED) an a CCD (like Orion Starshoot) to autoguide the scope.
From what I read, for deepsky photography my C6 will be used as a guide scope and the other scope as the image scope.
Though, I'm not quite sure how I can put these 2 scopes on my cg5 goto mount. This is where I need your help. What do I need to get such a setup ?
After some research, I found something named "Dual Dovetail" to put the scopes side by side. However, I don't know where to find such item and I don't know if I need something else to fix the scopes.
Thank you for your advice !!
