Camera:
Canon 5D mkII (full frame) IDAS LPS-V4 filter Processing: Gathered and processed in Images Plus 4.25 Exposure: 24 X 120 sec. @ ISO1600 Other Equipment Used: Orion ST-80 80mm guide scope and Solitaire Auto-guider Notes: Very hot night., first test of the ability of the ST-80 as a guide scope. I very much liked what I have seen.
The Orion ShortTube 80 is perfect being used as a guide scope with a CCD autoguider. It is a compact scope with optics that deliver bright wide-field images. This product is just the tube assembly with no accessories.
