[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 685712, member: 26505"] Astrophotography is a whole new ball game. May I suggest going to the Cloudy Nights website and take a look. They know all about astrophotography over there. We have a few astrophotography people here but not many, and I don't know how often they post. Are you wanting to shoot planets, clusters, milky way, etc? You can get into shooting multiple images for dim objects and use stacking programs or stiching for large star fields, etc. I don't know how experienced you are in astronomy, but if you are fairly new to that then you are learning both astronomy and astrophotography. I have an 8 inch dobsonian telescope. I thought I wanted to do astrophotography until I realized what it took for those spectacular images. I would have needed a new scope, camera, computer, software, etc. Anyway, welcome to Nikonites and please check out Cloudy Nights. They know their stuff. Astrophotography is cool. [/QUOTE]
