Okay man has landed on the moon because when they did they put mirrors on it. Then out in Califonia they fire huge lasers at those mirros and measure how long it takes to come back. So MAN HAS LANDED ON THE MOON!

Wow. Another ChrissyO. That is kinda weird since my dad had a telescope on my roof when I was a kid....

What do I need to start Astrophotography? I'm gonna buy the Canon Eos 1000D. So with that camera I only need an adapter and a decent telescope?
thanks

It's a 10" F5 GSO Newtonian.

Exactly what telescope did you use? I'm thinking of getting a dobsonian. Maybe Zhumell?

You say you used a Panasonic video camera. Is that digital? How did you do it, just prop it up on top of the eyepiece?

The video camera uses MiniDV tapes. And yep, I made a simple bracket that held the camera up to the eyepiece of the scope. I filmed the stuff I wanted, then the camera could be connected to the computer with a firewire cable/card. I used some free video capture software to upload the footage to the computer. I can't remember the name of the software though, I haven't used the video camera with my telescope in years.
