A lot depends on what you are looking to see. I'd get something in the 12mm range and then maybe 20mm range too. 40 mm is nice and wide but not very powerful. If you are in town I think I have a 25 mm Plossl I could donate to you, and you would be more than welcome, if you bring your scope over, to use the better lens I have too. I have a pretty good selection you could pick through.

My understanding was that the shots you are taking could only be seen through some sort of university or research project that would cost tens of thousands of dollars to put together. |

The mounts that guide the scopes for the pictures are insanely complex. And expensive for the really good ones.

I think used, if you aren't looking for REALLY distant galaxies you could put together a reasonable little setup for $2,000 - $3,000. $5K buys a nice setup. I've seen guys that do the top of the line shots spend $200k easy.

Also Google "SCT collimination" online to see if your scope is got its two mirrors centered and aligned. It makes a huge difference in your views.
