Holy guacamole! A 10 inch mirror. Gee, you will see make some great planet images with a mirror like that one.
I only have a 4 inch newtonian telescope. It's a national geographic hugo telescope. It's only small but I get some great digital photos of the moon with my home made camera mount. I took a clumsy photo of Jupiter with the little telescope and picked up blurry bands around jupiter after using a layering effect in photoshop.
I plan to try and photograph Venus which will probably start to become a good photo opportunity as we approach xmas. At least that's what the people at the planetarium in brisbane told me. I realise Venus is simply a disk of light. Even so, when it has phases, it can be an interesting image to contemplate.
I can't wait to photograph Mars when the opportunity arises. I would dearly love to get a blurry image of an icecap with my little telescope. But perhaps the optics are not good enough.
