Anyone using these scopes for CCD?Posted By Joe Bruessow |
Hey Guys/ Gals...
Is anybody out there having good luck CCD imaging at f/6.3 or prime with the Nexstar 11, or the 12"/ 14" LX200 GPS scopes. I'm thinking of "downgrading" so I can afford a premium dob and imaging.
I will be permanently mounting the scope in my roll-off shed. I'd like details, like whether I can expect to be able to get through autoguide callibration. Can I get the long (10-15 min.) guided exposures I'd like? What are the specific shortfalls for imaging?
Links and comments would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
