To your defense Michael when those all-in-one systems started to appear they carried big price tags, but it was unclear how well they were designed and built. Now it looks like at least some of them provide good functionality.
I know what you mean Jean-Yves. I have been (and still are ) visual observe all my life and always preferred manual mounts. But with light pollution getting worse at my home location so I had to adaptmessier 111 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 7:47 pm I had promised myself not to take photos of the sky, I started with my cell for fun, now I'm tempted to take the leap. thx.
What is you opinion on 50mmLDW47 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 11:25 pm I have some good refractors, I do WL and Ha as an aside, this will just be another, enjoyable aside. It cost $600 C all in, one of my eps cost almost that much so its sure not going to break my bank and if I don't like it someone else will for less cost. I have always loved astronomy and I really like trying new astro gear adventures, its part of my game, one of my loves of life. I am sure many fellow astronomers feel the same, we have faith in ZWO, in todays ever growing technology !
I don't know any more about it than anyone else but I am very sure that ZWO thought about every scenario, every angle, what it should be capable of for we casual astronomers but not the people that think they know more than ZWO. Its their job, their company, their responsibility to supply a great product and then the sky is the limit for us all going forward. I, like many, are willing to invest $400 US / $600 C to let them have a go at it, I haven't heard too many real, legitament complaints about their very wide and expanding product line up of cams, etc., why should the 50mm be any different. I mean we aren't talking about building the Battleship New Jersey or the Space Shuttle, its a very attractively priced piece of astro gear, I have the faith like many when it comes to breaking new ground which this is, lets not say its the same as the others !Bigzmey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 12:20 amWhat is you opinion on 50mmLDW47 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2023 11:25 pm I have some good refractors, I do WL and Ha as an aside, this will just be another, enjoyable aside.

Since it is AltAz mount sky rotation would be an issue to limiting how many frames one can stack.
Yeah, bad / increasing
