Fabulous photo!
I am thinking about getting a telescope with a motor drive that will accept a camera mount. I'd like to be able to photograph the moon and planets. Any suggestions?
Thanks! Planets are tiny, they require a lot of magnification. On the other hand, they are very bright and can be photographed from anywhere. A nice system for planets could be based around a Celestron 9.25 telescope - not too expensive and it's a very fine one at that, coupled with a web cam or specialized video camera. Video is best for planets because you can run it at 10-frames per second. Shoot some minutes and then use software (Registax) that throws out the images ruined by turbulence (usually around 70~90%!) and the same software will stack and process the remaining ones.
Thanks again!
