DSI or Digital Cameral
Hello,
I want to get into astrophotography but would like to know which route would be better. I would like to do planetary and deepsky photography but I want to make one purchase that would cover both. Thanks. Barry Clay |

Fortunately the best solution for planetary work is also relatively cheap assuming you already have a laptop. My advice is to get a webcam for planets (Phillips Toucam Pro is the best) and a separate dedicated deepsky camera. If you want a digital camera that you can use for deep sky work the Canon 300D/10D or 350D/20D are the most popular. Google for any of these cameras + astro and you will find loads of examples of astro images taken with them Robin |

Barry Clay The DSI is a great camera for beginning - IF you have a scope capable of tracking the sky and with a reasonable short focal length (or a focal recuder).
