Last years i did what i did and i still like i am starting new, and all my decisions came late but i have no regret, the regret is only when there is something new coming out that we all don't know about at all so it make us like regret the past decisions, but hey, who is knowing the future here anyway.
I keep asking always about equipment all over, as i feel like my decision is based on the equipment details/description and not based on people impressions and experiences, so i try to take both into consideration, not all people experiences i must follow, as well not all what i read about the equipment in stores i must follow blindly, so in this case i will tell you my new latest plan i am looking for to do so you can guide me or help me how i should do it properly so i can be happy at the end of the decisions.
- I have three mono cooled cameras so far, which are: QHY163M, ASI1600MM-C Pro and QHY294M-Pro
- I have 3 main scopes now and one isn't arrived yet, those are: Meade 8"
F/ 5 andGSO 6"F/ 4 both Newtonian, and TS Optics 90F/ 6 triplet
- I have two filter wheels for my two cameras [ZWO and QHY], and i have two filters sets [except i need one more LRGB set to complete it], and also i am planning to buy Antlia
Ha 3nm filter.
I am planning to buy an APS-C color camera sooner or later this year i hope, and also one extra scope, mainly it will be FRA400 with its reducer.
Now with above equipment, i will end up using like dual imaging system, if i add another scope later above that FRA400 for example then it will three scopes, but that will be at wider
My concern is about the sizes of filters here, if i will use APS-C, it will be mainly or only for
I have no planning to go mono again with larger sensors, it all depends on that APS-C i will buy later in colors, if it will do great job then most likely even a full frame camera it will be a color, and that will cover my need for
Also with the size, there is the idea of what way i should go, a filter wheel or filter slider with inserts? the only camera left is QHY294M with nothing, what should i use with it, a filter wheel or a filter slider if i will use only 2-3 filters anyway? and if i will use let's say autofocuser with all my scopes, it means i am trying to automate my setup, but i am using autofocuser only for focus, not to make all my setup fully automated, but i can think about it as the best idea, so what will you choose in this case, a filter wheel [electronic of course] or a slider?
I will get a budget soon that i will put it into a scope FRA400+reducer and something left, i wanted to buy
Thank you very much
