Using a Digital SLR with an ETX

Hi

Could anyone please point me in the right direction i.e websites or
information, about using a digital SLR with a Meade ETX. I have a Meade ETX
125 and a Canon EOS 350D digital SLR camera.

Thanks in advance

I've found Mike Weasner's site useful

Steven,

My ETX book available talks about photography using the ETX available from
Telescope House.

The problems you have to concern yourself with are the weight of the camera
and the angle of the image becuase you could hit the base. Due to the nature
of the drive you can't really use it for deep-sky but you can do some good
planetary stuff. You might want to look at a webcam which is very light but
of course needs a PC.

Hope this helps,
Lilian Hobbs
