Hi everyone,
After many weeks of looking through forums and websites I finally have purchased my first telescope. Thanks for the price drop, Andrews Comm. :-) It's a 6" Guan Sheng, Skyview I mount, 3x ED barlow and RA motor drive. (not quite my first scope, as that honour belonged to a Tasco 2" 20 years ago. Horrid, horrid little thing!).
I have a Nikon D70 DSLR and would like to try imaging the planets. I understand that I need a T-ring for my Nikon, but I can't decide between an adjustable tube camera adapter and a camera projection lens. Which works better with the D70's small CCD sensor?
The scope is F5 and I have read on this form that some users needed to move the mirror to achieve focus. I would really like to avoid that
I have an 18-70mm zoom lens for my D70 (which I assume I won't use for astrophotography).
I have browsed this forum for answers but inevitably this post will duplicate already answered questions. I apoligise in advance :-)
