ccd camera help 2

hi all some very interesting points. my set up is a 14'' cge telescope piggybacked 80ed normally i webcam the planets but i really want to get into ccd imaging, of course i want to image galaxies but what i really want to do is scientific work. i want to locate new asteroids,comets and supernova, this is the main reason i got into astronomy. all your advice is greatly received but you all know astronomy is 99% learning and 1% doing.

Hi Carl,

Regarding your interest in doing scientific work. There will be a workshop at this weekend Whirlpool Star Pary at Birr. The workshop will be about involvement in a new IFAS AOP Advanced Observing Programme on the very topics that you mentioned. It would be advisable to be there.
