DSLR mount for CPC 800

[Walshy]

Hi Guys,

My first post since registering and saying hello.

I have a CPC 800 and Neximage which I plan to use for planetary imaging.

For wide field work I was hoping to use a DSLR (EOS 350d/400d) piggybacked on the 800 (which I would use for guiding). However I have not seen any piggyback mounts advertised anywhere. Am I barking up the wrong tree. I am new to this so my ignorance may appear startling!

Any advice, suggestions would be most appreciated. Would something else be more appropriate for imaging things like open clusters and nebulae?

Regards,

Walshy

you want the Celestron piggyback mount for the C8's. See it on Celestrons website at http://www.celestron.com/c2/product.php?CatID=50&ProdID=355

we have these in stock

Thanks for that.

Had seen it on your web site but thought as it specifically mentioned the C series, it wouldn't necessarily fit the CPC scopes.

Where does it fit to? Is it the finder scope fittings? are instructions supplied?

On the top of the rear cell, there are two screws. Remove them and use the suplied screws to attach the mount (this is my NS8GPS before I attached the ADM rails)

Hi Steve,

I see you have the 350d, are you happy with it?

I havent used the 350D for astrowork for a while now, but I was more than happy with it when I was using it.
