Does anyone here use the 400d or any other dslr to take sky pictures?
With or without attachments? Let me know how you use a dslr for night sky photography. Thanks, Matt. |

win.ntli.net: Does anyone here use the 400d or any other dslr to take sky pictures? With or without attachments? Let me know how you use a dslr for night sky photography. Thanks, Matt. I have a Nikon D200, no mods. I haven't done much astro with it yet as I don't have a tracking scope. I did rig up a t-ring for the scope and have done some lunar and planetary attempts, but that just shows how old the scope and how bad the mirror is. I have done rocket launches, satellites, and Iridium flares. I am awaiting the possibility of a new scope before doing anything more serious. However, I seem to be having a budget vs desires issue. If I keep my budget reasonable, I'm not happy with the selection. If I make myself happy, I'm broke. But then, I may be setting my standards too high. I tend to be a perfectionist. I set out for a "decent" camera under $800 and ended up with the D200. Can't complain, though. I'm quite happy. There were several features that were required that I could not find all on the same camera until I got into the low end pro stuff.
