Hi there,

I have a friend who is into star watching...he has asked me if I can connect my D70S to his telescope to take photos of the stars & planets etc at night.

Does anyone out there have any help on this subject or where there is a web site that has information etc etc etc...

Would like to seem like I know what I am doing before we have a go at this :oops:

Ree :D :shock:

Ree,

It most certainly is possible and there are members on here who have achieved tremendous results. I cannot for the life of me remember the memebrs name who is prolific in astrophotography, but a search on that terms should yield some good results.

Cheers

If my memory serves me correctly either BigV or Gordon :)

Both Big V and Gordon great awesome results, and are very helpful to any budding Astro-photographer, there are a few others too but these two are around a fair bit so your sure to 'bump into them'.

Perhaps if your thread title was a little more relevant perhaps 'Star Photography - Help' or something along those lines you might lure the right people into your thread :) I'm slowly learning to keep my thread titles more relevant as there is just so much activity on the forums, some people can't keep up with every thread.
