Hi Remus
Thanks for your tip. Will definitely try them out. Are you referring to the Microsoft Image Composite Editor? I'm a Mac user.. cannot run this program... will try out other softwares to see if there are better ones.

Was there in Feb... Took my first pictures of milky way and startrails. Have done some post processing. Please feel free to comment so that I know what to improve on.

I will be getting a Extender Q to have higher magnification but am not sure if it still be limited to by the scope size?

I intend to progress to AP in time...

I'm using this as a main scope. Had wanted to get a FSQ106N (resale) but couldn't find one. So thinking of settling for a Sky90. Have seen through some scope before but never on a Sky90. Is there a big difference between this and FSQ106 in terms of visual? Will certainly be observing from Spore and ...

Hi Guys
I'm considering a Takahashi Sky90. I intend to start with observation first and will progress to AP. Anyone has tried this equipment before? Please let me have your comment.

Looking at buying one soon.

Cheers
