What do I need?

[benjii]

I have a SW 200p dob and my girlfriend has just bought a Canon EOS 1100D. Now I'm under no impression that I'm going to start AP with that setup, however, I'd like to at least try experimenting just for the fun of it. So bearing that in mind, can someone link me to what I need on FLO to attach the camera?

I believe it's a t-ring adaptor or something, but I've had a look and I'm just not sure at all. Also, do the telescope EP's go in the adapator? Is that how the camera focuses?

Thanks!

You will need one of these: http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/320849973252?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

Also, you don't mention which mount you have, this will be the biggest factor for AP. Anyway, you don't use eyepieces for AP, you just need to connect camera with T-Ring to telescope focuser.

You'll need some sort of tracking, so hopefully you have the auto or the goto?

For a start you can get some great moon shots with a 1200mm lens attached to your 1100d

It's a Dobsonian mount and no goto or auto. I will be upgrading to a goto EQ at some point, however, now I'm just curious what you can do with what I've got. So is that t ring all I need to connect it?
