Using an Alt/Az mount for dslr astrophotography


Celestron4

Recommended Posts

I have upgraded to an equatorial mount and was wondering whether I could use the go-to Alt/Az mount that came with the telescope (a Celestron Nexstar Evolution 6) for taking tracked exposures with a DSLR and telephoto lens. Would this work? If so what would I need to buy to attach the DSLR to the mount? I realise that it is not an ideal setup and am looking at the tracking mounts from skywatcher and iOptron but am wondering whether my old mount could work as a stop-gap.
