First, i'd like to say hi to everyone. I am new to the sport of star gazing. I have only used my new telescope 2 times and i am hooked for life. The first object i saw through it was saturn, and to date, the coolist thing i have ever saw. I will have lots of questions for you guys as my knowledge is limmited on star gazing. First, i have a Celestron se8 with GPS and a remote battery pack to run it. What can i expect to be able to see with it other than planets? Also, i would like to take pictures with it. What type of CCD (priced with in reason) camera would work best with the se8 and deep sky objects providing i can see them (color perfered)? Thanks.

I think you need to post this in the Beginners section? you may have more luck.

Well welcome to the Star Gazers Lounge and Astronomy, Unfortunately I don't know the scope.

But as it's a 8" scope I would expect great views of all the inner planets, and some great DSO's like clusters and galaxies, although most will be just fuzzy blobs? A camera will bring out much more detail though, but that's a whole new ballgame.

Good luck with your venture, and yes Saturn is the coolest planet I have viewed also, I've been interested in astronomy for over 20 years now and I still love looking at Saturn.
