Chuck,
I would like to know your results on that camera. I have been looking for an option with my lx200 10". I have used my dslr with ok results. Could be better if I spent more time with it. Also, the dslr doesn't work well with the scope and a 3.3 reducer.
I will have to look up the orion as well.
Smoke 'em if you gott 'em (ribs, brisket, etc.).
Trout, turkey... ;-) As soon as I get useful info Dale, I'll pass it on. Once it warms up again, I'll be looking for on-site help under the stars, I'm sure. I'll take any pointers you can offer. I think the chip in many DSLR's is just too damn big for a focal-reduced image plane in most telescopes. You'd need an optical system with a HYOOGE, well-corrected FOV to make it work.
