Hi,

Monte is absolutely correct. You can look through those scopes but taking photo's would be problematic.

If you wish to take photo's and have a limited budget then you could purchase an Ioptron mount. There is a version that can be polar aligned, you should get this one. I need to stress this would only be suitable for mounting your camera with say a 100 to 200mm lens for widefield. However it does have goto and will track.

The bright side is that when you buy a small refractor for imaging in the future this mount while not really suitable for imaging with it (weight constraints, no tracking etc) will make for a great grab and go, goto tracking mount for visual use with the small refractor.

Regards Paul.
