Jimmy;
I have no plans, now or future, to start taking DSLR images through my
scope. I DO have plans to use it piggybacked on the ED 80 and the new
Sirius mount I have. I love wide field photos of the sky. =20
I have used all my "astro bucks" up for right now. So, I will not be in =
the
market for my DSLR camera for some months. But I look forward to seeing
some of your shots at the next meeting. Yea sure, the monsoons started
tonight and probably will quit for Thanksgiving. Teach us to buy new =
stuff.
Holding out hope;
Steve Coe
