Would it work well with that cam and 40mm or 32mm EPs? My cam has a front filter thread of 40.5mm How long an exposure can I take with this setup? I have a Nexstar 8SE. Im looking for exposures of up to about 15sec so I can image the moon, planets and some dso (M13, M42, M31) as well. Is the vignetting minimal and can I use barlows and filters with this setup? The EPs I will be using with this are the Orion Highlight Plossl (40mm) and the Sirius Plossl (32mm).
