Cheers Marc. I don’t own a DSLR unfortunately. I just have an old Canon Powershot G9 that I found in the garage, and my trusty mobile phone. I did see a Canon G9 specific digi-kit telescope adapter kit online for US$90… but I guess I’d get better value for money putting that towards something new.
Yep my scope doesn’t have tracking, so stacking short exposures sounds like the go.
I’d be thrilled to get any kind of photo of the things that I’ve actually seen through the eyepiece – moon, planets, 47 Tucanae, any of those star clusters between the southern cross and Eta Carinae.
Would it actually be possible to do something with my smartphone, and some kind of adapter, like this one from AstroNZ?
