Carole, that's a great start, especially since you don't have a light polution filter. much better than my first attempts, just wait till you get the 450D onto M42!!!!

Daniel
:O)

Carole

Thanks Daniel. 

I'll take a peep at your website.

QuoteI think I am going to just "go for it" and order the CLS filter, which is the last item I need.  That will make £1043 I will have spent this month on Astronomy kit!!!! 

Wow, thats an expensive filter  ;)

Carole

The bulk of it was DSLR and new laptop, but have also bought:

Bag for DSLR
Remote shutter cable (programmable - not that I've got as far as using this yet)
2" to 1.5" adapter (DSLR to 1.5" barlow)
Guide rings
USB hub
Rj 12 cable
Book on imaging
Side by side bar
Port interface cable (still in post)
Guide rings (still in post)
CSL Filter (still to order)
Oh and forgot about a extra DSLR battery, that's another £20.
£1063
Phew!!

Fay said at the imaging workshop there would be a spending frenzy, and she was right.

Carol,

I noticed you forgot to order the sky hooks,  :cheesy:
as well as the clear sky pills,  ;)

Well best of British with all that kit and my the skies be cloud free.

Just one serious question, is the hub powered?
you will probably need a powered hub, as opposed to just a normall hub.

Just a thought.

Yes it is.

Seriously, if I have forgotten anything, can some-one shout now!!!
Don't want to get down to DSC and find there is something else I need.

(I already had a dovetail plate for fixing on the guidescope).

Just hope those last few items arrive in time or I will be seriously fed up.  Shoestring say "if the item doesn't arrive within 6 weeks to let them know!!!!!!  Interestingly the item I order 2nd came several days ago.
