I hope I'm not hijacking the post. If so, I'm sorry, but I think my question adequately continues the subject.

I used to have a nexstar 6se until I became interested in astrophotography. The mount is not up to it unless you want to stick to moon shots. I sold the 6se and invested in an EQ6 and have a good quality APO refractor now. I started with a canon 1000d (since modded)learnt how to polar align and you can take it from there. The 6se OTA I think will fit on an EQ6 but an SCT is a difficult place to start astrophotography compared to a refractor. Good luck.
