Description

I recently purchased a Coronado PST and have been enjoying viewing the wonderful H-alpha wonders through it. I thought I try to image it with my DSLR but focussing is impossible, this is the best I can get but not too bad for my first effort I think...but I realise I need a monochrome planetary camera now to achieve better focus and I am eyeing up either DMK41 or the QHY5L-II....the latter attracting me more because its barrel type form slots into the focus tube like an eyepiece so focussing is not an issue....will make a choice any day now!
