Thank you all for the quick replies, it is so helpful, this is my first time on here so i am new but i have been reading a lot of threads. I have an older DSLR, it is a Nikkon D50, thats why i was complaining about where is sits when it is mounted on my scope, because i have to look through the viewfinder. I have not worked out if it can be controlled by my laptop, i went to a shop and they said that it cannot that is why i wanted to get a CCD camera.
Robin and Gary i will not be sending you money, hahaha....great try though. James how do you control your mount from your laptop? what software do i need? I have an EQ5pro goto mount. I am thinking about piggybacking a guide scope because i already have the orion starshoot autoguider. Im not sure if i can get an infrered remote for my dinosaur camera. This is why i wanted a cooled CCD camera, because my DSLR is not convenient for using on my telescope. So it was either a new DSLR or a cooled CCD camera.
Thanks for all your help guys, i really appreciate it, you are a great help. Like i said im a begginner so i love feedback,
