LAst night I tried hand-holding my Canon EOS10D to the eyepiece (35mm Panoptic) to compare the results of my Powershot on steadypix. Using ISO400 and a 17-40mm zoom lens (at 40mm) the results were much cleaner than the POwershot, but suffered from camera shake due to the unnatural holding position. I think that puting the camera on a tripod and adjusting it to the eyepiece may be the way to go. It will be fiddly, but there will be enough time to keep trying until I get it right.
My other alternative is to try prime focus through the Megrez 90 (if it ever gets here) but my TeleVue mount may not be sturdy enough for the scope and a heavy DSLR. Mirror lockup woud certainly be required I imagine.
