I'm considering starting out in DSO AP with an Olympus E3 DSLR camera unguided on an HEQ5 mount.

Would I get better results using my high quality 200mm Olympus zoom lens (400mm equiv) or my Orion ED80T APO scope?

What would the pros and cons of each approach be? Any other thoughts?

I'm not expecting stunning results but would hope to get some pleasing images of easier to photograph objects and begin to learn the basics of AP.

Thanks,

Don
