Celestron make some very nice ones at a reasonable price, and you can still use them for nature photography. Oh and I need to mention that they come with a DSLR T-thread adaptor, that screws onto the eyepiece (so an eye piece projection system). Mine works great, with very little vignetting (edge of corners only). Stick them on a cheap tripod and you have a good little travel setup. The Celestron's come with a fitted padded travel bag. Worth considering. BTW, you want a Pan head tripod, ball heads are too flakey.
Thanks mate.

Do you have a link to some of the Celestrons?
