I have a Canon 60D which am planning to attach to the scope using the T-ring adapter setup. I'll see how it performs for long exposures before I go modding it to get a cooling system installed. Can't I also have the camera attached to it's own tripod while being connected to the scope to take some weight off it?
Thanks Marty and Julian, I'll give him a buzz and might drop by this Friday. Website says they are open till late on Fridays.
Cheers,
