Hi Darren, The Mak is only suitable for smaller objects such as planets and
planetary nebulae, and close up lunar work, due to it being very slow photographically, and its great focal length giving it a narrow field of view.
You could do a tiny number of the very brightest of DSOs, but in most cases you wouldn't get the the whole object in your field of view.
All this means that for other than lunar and planetary work you will need it mounted on an equatorial mount and do long guided exposures, which is
another whole ball game. Also, for lunar and planetary a video camera is the weapon of choice, so you can select the best individual frames for stacking.
You will need an eyepiece projection adaptor for the various EP and barlow
combinations you will use. With barlows you need high quality, as el cheapos
won't cut it.
If you are not looking for very high quality results you can do single exposures of the moon and get passable images, but take lots of them and
select the best one.
For basic prime focus imaging all you need is the T-ring. When using EPs you just need to add an EP projection adaptor.
