Hi Malevy

Yes I am using my camera with the scope
I used the 3 payment method from Orion, if you are also going to use it, hurry as the offer expires on 2/24 or 25, its great that I can do this in installments.

The T Ring goes on the cameras body where your lens usually is and the T mount screws into the T ring (17.95) my T Mount (39.95) came with a 2X Barlow Lens it, I will attach a picture of the mount and ring so you can see it, the mount goes into the scope, you will need this for astrophotography. Photoshop is essential for processing, I just learned about stacking, I am doing some exercises on line. The Book I bought has a link in it so you can get the books image and learn to stack them, I will also attach that photo ( the photo was not taken by me its just a stacking exercise ). The exercise shows you how to stack and the results are star trails.
My next learning experience will be tracking.
I wish I knew of an online astrophotography course but I cant find one.
If anyone knows of one, please post it for me

Thanks
