The 1000d makes a great widefield, I'm going to lash up an adaptor to piggy back it with it's lenses on my EQ6. My attraction is simple widefield nebulas etc just ofr my own satisfaction. Not trying to compete with Hubble 
To confess, I'm probably far more of a tinkerer, and I enjoy it, than a great photographer. You want out of focus or head cut off? I can do it every time
So, we'll see how things turn out. I really love tinkering...... |
I hear you, and i understand what your saying, but there is a VERY steep learning curve in going from widefield DSLR shots etc. to a monochrome camera with filters
I am glad i went the route of DSLR before anything, as i have learned alot from it.
