    Astroscope + DSLR = Gallery!

    Hi, shooting at ISO 800. They are all massive crops from the originals. Looking at the originals I have on the hard drive, I agree they are grainier when condensed to fit the forums rules.

    Astroscope + DSLR = Gallery!

    After having my scope for nearly a month, I finally managed to get away from work and had a little bit of sun to grab my first couple of shots.

    Do any of you guys use your scopes for astronomy as well as astroscoping? If so how easy is it to change from one setup to another. I know some of you have modded your scopes so you'll be unable to mount them. The wife is thinking of getting into astronomy and I was wondering if we could kill...
