Mike, I know that faster, higher ISO shots will work best for the moment, but as the nikon has some noise issues at higher iso speeds, I'd like to be shooting at iso200 or lower..

Dennis, Hahh, not so much confused as determined!

Doug, Mine is a D80 also, so that rules that out... I've used delayed exposure, but an 8" dob is easily vibrated by the mirror when you're hanging the 4x barlow, 50mm extention tube, T-adapter and the camera off it... Its hardly a balanced unit.

I'll be playing with this and my toucam during the week (attempted saturn with the toucam last night, couldnt even get it in the frame????)

I've been saving all the spare coin I've got to throw at a little list of astrophotography gear that I've made up... the list does include a modded canon 40D/450D so I can use both Live View and the mirror lockup exposure mode.
