Too bad you couldn't have put the 20D on the mount and taken the equipment
picture with the 300D. So what's a couple broken fingers?
Just saw the favorable review of Meade's DSI Pro CCD imager in S&T Oct issue.
But you'd need a good laptop to run it and 2.0 USB for acceptable speed. Also
plenty of power. That kind of cooled me on it.

> Last Saturday night at Cherry Road, I put the imaging equipment through its
paces. This began innocently with me purchasing an equatorial mount to track
a Pronto. Now I am finding that it does an acceptable job of tracking both
that scope and a piggybacked camera with 200mm lens.

with all of the frustrations that effort brings. So for last Saturday night,
the Pronto was a glorified guidescope. The images were taken with a Canon
Rebel 300D digital SLR.
