Yes, I've been meaning to talk with you about the camera, but haven't seen you! I bought an adapter and extension tube(s) to mount it to the focuser, and tried all kinds of techniques, but it has a number of limitations that prevent me from getting any decent photos through a telescope. And one major limitation: It focuses on the projection screen, which requires a person, um, to remove one's glasses and use reading glasses or something, as compared to astro-cameras that send images to a computer. *sigh*
So I got myself an Orion deep space imager... that I haven't been able to try just yet, on account of the spring cyclone season. But soon! Also what motivated me to get a nicer laptop.
How can I get it back to you? Thanks for letting me give it a try - feel free to keep the astro-adapters if you think you could use 'em.
