[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 659802, member: 26505"] If you want to image planets and deep space objects, you need a telescope. I don't know if you can get much detail even on Saturn or Jupiter with just a 600mm lens. You can start with a good wide-angle lens and steady tripod. Astrophotography is better at a dark-site on a night of "good seeing." Take a look at the Cloudy Nights website. It is a message board for amateur astronomers, and there is a section on astrophotography and a beginner section as well. [url]https://www.cloudynights.com/index[/url] [/QUOTE]
