It is a bit of an issue I guess. You want to try it doing wide field with just the camera. Now that takes some time. You've only got to move the focus ring a fraction too much and you have to start going back the other way. It can take up to half an hour to do it with just a camera lense. I will admit though it is a lot quicker if its scope mounted, even to my rack and pinion celestron. Can't wait till I get my new setup with both crayford focuser and JMI microfocuser. She'll be hummming sweet then.

Found out something interesting about the DSLR the other night that I wasn't aware of, it has a night vision mode. I probably would have known about this if I'd read the manual properly.
