Wow just wow all of you the images in this thread are pure inspiration to me and I only to be a quarter as good one day. I have patiently read through all of the 35 pages today as I have been trying to start astrophotography with just my dslr and tripod and I am looking for a scope to progress onto when the time is right and to be honest looked at the 130 due to cost sorry to go off topic and not sure were to post this question but can this scope work well with a dslr as from what I have read here the majority of images are all via cdd camera's and we'll out of my budget. Sorry again if this the wrong place and please keep this thread going into have absolutely loved reading it today and viewing your images. Darrell.
