Hi all,
Been lurking a while, great forum here, not just the general chat but everything else on this site is so helpful.

Bit of intro- Ive been into photography for a real long time and am competent technically with DSLR, and film before that. I still have most of my Large format and darkroom gear but its now gathering dust!

I dont have a scope but have tried to take some photos this last week using a barn door type mount I made and 75-300 @ 300mm. Needs a bit of tweaking...

My question is what would be the cheapest scope (and mount) for attaching a DSLR to- I have a Canon 50D and also a modified 300D- i love land based infrared photography.

Theres been some good threads recently about beginners scopes- I like this thread in particular!

Can the suggested set-up (Skywatcher 70x900mm EQ1) take a DSLR and how do I do it?

Thanks for any help,
Robert
