Good DSLR for astriphotography?
Hi all,
I have a wonderful but ancient film-based SLR, and a new 7MP compact camera. I would, however, like to slot a DSLR into my telescope.
As I am DSLR-less, I was wondering if anyone can offer advice with regard to good / bad options on the market at the moment? Useful tips along the lines of "Oh my god whatever you do don't buy THAT one", would be most welcome. :-)
I've been ogling some Canon 40D, 1000D, 450D's in the local Ted's Camera Store. Price range seems to be $900-$1,300 depending on both body model and what sort of lens(es) they're bundling. The DSLR will get a look in taking sports photos but it's primary purpose in life will be staring down my telescope in prime focus & projection modes.
Cheers!
Chris
