BTW, you really don't need a crazy expensive camera to take pictures with a telescope. Well, let me clarify that, If you want to use a digital type camera, it can be fairly expensive, as you must buy a SLR Style Camera and right now, in digital, that can be very expensive. The best, low cost way of doing so is by picking up a SLR 35mm camera. You can usually find them for very cheap money at garage sales. Depending on the lens mount style of the camera you end up with, you'll be able to buy and adapter mount to mount it on the telescope. You can get some truly wild and amazing pictures with that type of set up!
