Hi Everyone,
First of all I will state the obvious, Fantastic Thread!.
I would very much appreciate some guideance, I have a Nexstar 6SE, wonderful little scope, and a Canon 450D camera.
I would very much like to try AP on the Great Orion Nebula, you guys have posted some wonderful images, absolutely amazing!
Now for me to image this nebula I take it that I should attach my camera to the scope with the prime focus method? Without a Barlow or anything?
My second question is, with this scope and the camera at prime focus, what would be the max exposure time that I could achieve before the stars star to trail?
Additionally if you have any suggestions as to what I could do with this very basic set up please let me know, such as what to image, use a EP or not etc.
Any suggestion and guidance would be very helpful.
Ian

Thus far I have only used my camera on a tripod for the Milkyway.
