Hi,
I wanted to take some planetary pics (Jupiter, Moon, Mars, let's see..) I will probably pick up a Canon 450D or similar again (what's best, that can be easily and cheaply obtained secondhand?).
I understand a Schmidt-Cassegrain and the Maksutov-Cassegrain would work well. The SCT is great, but hard to get a perfect polish on the lens with? While the Mak is quite forgiving and more consistent - that sounds right?
What equipment will I need to attach it to my camera? Can these be easily connected? Can both be connected easily?
Once upon a time, I had a Borg ED76 connected to a Canon 450D, and got into some very light astro photography.
Any general advice would be great.
I am quite budget limited, perhaps $600 or less (?), and would be buying from the for sale section here. I'm quite patient and prepared to wait for the right thing to come up.
