Hi, I just got my first telescope (Meade ETX105AT) and I was wondering if there is a camera I can use with the scope(not dslr or ccd) and how good will the pictures be because I want to use it at daytime to?

You will need an adapter to attach a point and shoot digital camera to an eyepiece. Visit www.scopetronix.com for info on their Digi-T adapters for various cameras. Erika and I have an ETX70 which we are very pleased with. We bought the Digi-T adapter for our Canon A40 camera and also a NexImage webcam. So far we have had much better sucess with the webcam for astonomy images.
If you use a fairly wide field eyepiece it is possible to just hold the camera to the eyepiece by hand (works for the moon to a certain extent). At least it will give you something to try while you are waiting for the camera adapter to arrive  .

Thanks for the tip,I looked at the Scoptronics Digi-t adapters and they had one adapter for my camera(Minolta A1)but I think itīs going to give much vingetting because of the large lens that Minolta has...
