You mentioned the 70-200mm but if you have wider lenses, I'd suggest using those. Maybe you have a fast 85mm or 50mm or even wider. For example, the southern cross fits nicely in a 50mm lens on a crop body. So does Orion.

Thanks - I may go ahead and purchase Alignmaster. I believe I can use backyard Nikon as the alignment 'camera' with my DSLR
