Considering purchasing SBIGst7, need some help

Posted By Joe Ramacciotti

Ashton,

I think you are on the right track by considering the SBig products. Some items I can recommend to you are as follows:

Play with the CCD calculator at the following link. With the ST-7 and an 8” or 10” SCT the FOV may be too narrow to capture some of the objects you intend to. While the LX200 is an excellent scope, you will most likely have to use a smaller scope to gain larger FOVs.

Second, I would highly recommend purchasing The New CCD Astronomy. Ron did an excellent job to say the least. There is a lot of very useful information. Check you local astronomy store, but you can always order it online.

Lastly, I would recommend the F3.3 focal reduced. I have a Meade reducer and it works very well. Once again, play with the CCD calculator tool in order to help you make a decision.

Good luck!

Jeff,

It's never too late for a image like that. Awesome! Is it a mosaic? If not, I have FOV envy! Thanks for a great image!

Hello Andrew.

The image is fantastic. Very nice depth and color. How do you like the ST-2000? I'm thinking on getting one.

Regards,

Joe.
