Hi Surreal,
In regards to astrophotography.
I have gone down this path with an 8" saxon on a HEQ5 GoTo mount and am getting some great photos.
BUT....you can't just get a t-ring for your camera and mount it in the focuser because there is not enought inward focus.
Want you have to do is purcase a low profile crayford focuser 10:1 ($160 approx) to give you focus but then to use your eps you need an extension tube to regain focus.
Or.....move the primary mirror up the tube to compensate for the inward movement of your camera. There is a link in projects & articles that explains what it do in detail. I went the low profile way.
Cheers
Chris
