    Not a big pic, but it is the moon during the last lunar eclipse over the Atlantic Coast.

    I have a 10" Orion XTI Dob, 16" Meade light bridge and a 100mmOrion apo Refractor on a GEM. I would post some pics but they are out at my mothers house in a shed beside my viewing spot. Next time I am out there I will take some pics.

    Nice Astro Photos guys.

    Oh and that looks like a Z10 in that photo.

    They sell for a very reasonable price adapters so that the camera mounts right into the slot for the eyepiece.

    you'll need to figure out your size.

    what sort of mount do you use?
    I wish it was a DSLR. Here's my review of the camera.

    What the camera looks like:



    Mount? I'm not sure what you mean.

    Great video of the moon, and Jupiter. I have never seen it so close up before.
    Do you have some sort of adapter to attach your camera to your
    telescope or do you just hold it to the viewfinder?

    If you have a DSLR you need a t-ring adapter and a draw tube that will fit in the telescopes focuser.

    The t-ring adapter for my 30D cost something like 10 bucks and the draw tube was $15 I think.

    You can do eyepiece projection photography and use a special mount that screws into your tripod mount hole and then mounts to your scope. This is a bit trickier as it requires precision alignment with the center of the lens to the center of the eyepiece and also requires exact placement of the lens from the eyepiece. This mount is a bit more expensive @ around $40 but it will work with most cameras that have a 1/4" threaded hole for mounting a tripod. Orion telescopes sells these.
