Hi columbus & welcome to the forum. I know a little bit about astrophotography using an easyshare lol. I have the 6340.
Yes it can be done but it's not easy due to the size of the LCD screen on the back of the camera = hard to get a good focus....I now use a big magnifying glass so I can magnify the image on the LCD better! Another way is to drag a portable TV out there with you & hook the camera thru that. If you need to know more about it ask away! Heres some pics using the easyshare & my 2 telescopes: 12.5" reflector & a 6" refractor.
Their not very good pictures compared to most that you will see in this forum, but I'm still a learner as far as astrophotography's concerned. The camera is limited to what it can do as well.
I'm guessing your camera would be similar to mine....4 secs. max time exposure, AVI capable as well? Eyepiece projection is the only option with this camera I'm afraid.
I made a camera adapter/holder thingy out of sheet aluminium to hold the camera to the telescope. Can't find a pic of it at present, but sing out & I'll take another of it.
Cheers!
