Advice re equipment for Astrophotography

Hello Everyone,

I'd be grateful for any advice re equipment or a link or reference on starting out in Astrophotgraphy.

I was recently given a Celestron Nexstar 4SE. I have been reading around the forum and searching Google. I have discovered various items such as Barlow lenses. But I am not clear on what equipment can or should be used to optimise my photographs of the moon or Jupiter. Do I need to perform post production ?

I realise DSOs are out of the question until I win lotto . I have a Canon 40D, a T ring and an adapter that fits the 4SE. I tried taking some shots of the moon the other night and the image was quite average compared to what I coud see through the eye piece. The Canon was attached to the back of the scope. I have seen a book or rather a CD advertised on iceinspace http://www.astropix.com/GADC/INTRO.H...FQZBbgodV2ZnIg wonder what people think.

Cheers

Jason
