All of my astro photos (not that I've done that many) have been taken with my Nikon D40 (not the X version). Yours will have more megapixels.
I'm not expert, so in the right hands you'll get even better results!
I love it.
Another member on here "Omaroo" uses it as well.
Here was my first image with the Nikon, single exposure, ED80. And my first image with the Nikon, single exposure, 10" Newtonian. No stacking etc. You can expect similar results if your doing guided exposures.
There is also a Yahoo user group for the D40... do a google search.
And I recommend a few accessories:
- Oxford Eye TetherPro camera control software (Nikon does not come with any)
- IR shutter remote / release (cheap, from China/Ebay)
- Extra battery (off ebay)
- Focal reducer for the Celestron (this is a complex issue, I can't help here, but I'm pretty sure that you'll need one for deep sky exposures... Perhaps create a seperate post and get the experts to chime in).
Cheers,
Logie.
