That's an impressive collection of images through the ETX 90. I especially like the closeup of Copernicus and the Saturn image. First rate.

Your pics are great. I have a ETX90 telescope and a Canon EOS Rebel digal camera, I would love to able to take some great pics like your. Would you please give me some ideas on how to do so.

Hi Gareth,

thanks for your nice comments! i am not using the G3 with a T-adaptor. i am using it "afocally" by attaching it directly to an eyepiece and then shooting through the eyepiece. this can be done with two nice adaptors from http://www.scopetronix.com . what you want are either their "Digi-T" system which allows you to attach to a variety of eyepieces, or their "MaxView 40" eyepiece which is a special eyepiece designed for photography. i have both and they work very well. i hope this helps and good luck with your ETX 105!

Great Pics. I'm looking at getting a ETX 105 AT myself and was considering looking at some astrophotography. I see you've used a Canon G3, did you use a standard T-adaptor to attach to the telescope? I have a Minolta DiMage S313 but thought I couldn't attach my camera to my scope unless I had an SLR type camera. Any suggestions would be appreciated..

John Stickel 23-Nov-2003 20:57
Nice pics Paul. I have a G-3 and a refractor. Is the only way with a special eyepiece?What did you for the connection?
Paul 22-Nov-2003 17:28
Thanks Chuck and Bryan!

it was a challenge and a lot of fun to try and shoot Mars during the recent opposition. thank you both for visiting and sharing your comments.

Thanks Allan!

you should be able to get some terrific shots with your G5 and ETX 125. i am new to Astrophotography too and find it to be very interesting. be sure to take many shots at different exposures (Manual mode is best)and experiment with a program like Registax 2 (for stacking Mars and planetary images). Good luck and let me know how it goes for you.

Really like your gallery, especially the moon with blue filter. I am new to astrophotography, so a gallery like yours is very interesting. I have an ETX125 with Fuji Finepix s602, but am waiting for my new Canon G5 to arrive.
Hopefully, I might be able to get some shots like yours soon!!
