What's new

attaching camera directly to Telescope mount ??

Couple shots here i took using my 350D and a 75-300mm lens piggybacked on my scope. The telescope/mount was used to counteract earth's rotation. These are several shots of 3 mins or so then stacked using deepskystacker...

Nice images, there is something really special with Andromeda I really like looking at it. What telescope and mount are you using ?
 
Darawan, it is not clear (at least to me) how much knowledge you have of astronomy. You may find some of the following links useful, as they discuss various aspects of doing astrophotography, with and without the use of telescopes.

I used a Meade LX 200 Classic which has it's own mount built in. I set it up on a permanent pier rather than it's tripod so that it's not in alt/az mode...
