[APML] Suggested Astrophoto Accessories for Vixen VC200L



Hello,

My VC200L is on its way from Orion and I wanted to get a quick rundown 
on the accessories I should get for connecting my OM1 for prime focus 
work. John Mirtle and others have suggested getting a 2" eyepiece 
adapter so I can use 2" accessories. I plan on ordering one in the next 
couple days. Is a Lumicon 2" Newtonian Easy Guider the appropriate OAG 
to use with an ST-4 for autoguiding ( I think the appropriate T-ring 
will come with the NEG)? Will I need to get any extension tubes from 
Lumicon to allow the ST-4 to reach focus? Also - just so I understand, 
can someone briefly go over the benefit of 2" accessories compared to 1 
1/4".  Additionally, are there any good filters I could get from 
Lumicon for nebulae photo's etc? Anything else I should put on my 
shopping list?

Sorry for all the questions -  I appreciate the assist & once I get 
this stuff down I can start helping out the newbies down the road!

Thanks,

Allan Whetzel
