I'm a disabled astronomer , never thought that AP was possible only using one arm. I'm still in the learning process and I still working on getting my mount and scope perfectly aligned.SB
Good progress. Keep at it and learn from our mistake too.

My star shoot ll is equivalent to a 5mm ep , as for why I used the filters . I've got 2 filters for that scope for the moon. I hadn't thought about the loss of detail, I was trying to save my eyeballs from hurting.
Hi Stepping Beyond,
I use filters for visual on the Moon but not for Photographing.
Specialized filters are good for Deep Space Objects and Planetary work.

Craig, I need to clarify a bit. I do mostly video astronomy with said video cameras, although I'm heading into uncharted waters with my Meade pictor CCD camera. It's going in my lil' refractor 80 for auto guiding my 8 in. Astrograph that's being shipped from Orion. I'm getting into Deep Space long exposure AP with my T510NG color digital. I will still continue video AP , I find it so rewarding and hope one day to send my grandson images of DSO's. It's just going to take a couple years to get everything required to do it with a quality result.

That sounds like a real semi pro setup to me. You are well on the way to your goal.
The Levenhuk T510 NG Telescope Digital Camera will be really nice with the Orion Scope.
Will you use the Stacking software that comes with it or something else?

I'll use both and find which offers the better result and ease of use. I've got DSS and reg6 freeware already trying to get a grasp on it and APT the demo version "free" and it looks like a keeper. All this is going to take a lot of time to get anything worthy of being quality , unless I get lucky. I've got good friends in various communities that will offer their input and guidance along with UHH . I have no worries about getting there Craig , in time everything will fall into place with ya'lls help.
