Anyone got one of these? What kind of success have you had with it? What
size scope and what is a typical stack of Images for a deep sky photos?
(i.e. 20 30-sec stack images ideal for most situations?) I've got a 5'
f/5 refractor and a 5' f/12 mak. Pictures of the moon and Saturn look
pretty good a 60X with the Mak. Will need to use a 2x or 3x barlow to see
what kind of detail can be had with Saturn and Juipter. Let me know what
your impressions are of this camera and what your success rate has been
photographing various Messier objects, planets, etc. I'd be interested in
hearing from anyone on this subject. I'm new to this kind of thing and it
intrigues me.

You have a 5 feet diameter refractor? Must be a hell of a concrete pad
you've
got it sitting on! lol


OK, I've got some typos. Is this newsgroup swamped with idiots also? Seems
to be a lot of them surfing the newsgroups. I guess the lack of intelligent
discourse is what brings them all out , as you can also find them in
'sci.astro.amateur' too.

Back to my original questions please. . .
