[QUOTE="nickt, post: 685586, member: 4923"] Welcome. I don't know ANYTHING about [COLOR=#333333]astrophotography, but I do know that if you don't have a cpu lens on the camera, you need to be in manual mode. Once you are in manual, you can snap a picture with any settings you want. Hopefully someone can help you with good settings for your needs, but it will all start with being in manual mode. You pick shutter speed and iso. You won't have any metering. Focusing will be with your telescope.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]It might be a good idea to practice on some daytime land scenes with your telescope so you get comfortable before working in the dark.
