Digital Cameras
Hello everybody,
I am a newbie in astrophotography. I wanted to ask if somebody in this group knows about the following items: 1. if there is a cheap digital camera in the market that I can use to capture images in the night sky without a telescope (I know this sounds bizzare but I guess with a long enough exposure time I should get some photographs of the night sky with stars in them - at least that's what a I think). 2. if there are digital cameras that I can control through a program (Linux based OR Windows based - it doesn't matter - I have both OSes installed on my hard drive) Thanks everyone!

Look for digital cameras that has a bulb setting, to keep the shutter open.
Canon 300D Rebel or some of the Nikon CoolPix digital cameras has it. I have a Canon Rebel 300D. Julius wrote in message oups.com... Hello everybody, I am a newbie in astrophotography.
