Skywatcher 120 how much can I photo ?

[Cloengaa]

Hey Guys I am just wondering before I buy a Toucam or something more expensive canon camera.

How well would this SKywatcher 120 be able to photo nebulaes and deep sky items ?

My Skywatcher ED120 manages very well and works well with my 1000D

What skywatcher are we talking about? If you mean the Evostar or Startravel 120's then you're going to suffer from chromatic abberation to varying degress (more in the startravel) which normally shows up in images as big blue haloes around stars. If we're talking about the ED120 pro or the Equinox 120 (they have the same optics) then the chromatic abberation is barely noticeable so they're much more suited to imaging.
