My son got me started on hooking up a digital camera (an XS in my case, a D70S in his) to my telescopes -- my interest has always been in the visual arena, not the photographic one. The last week has been our first serious attempt to make this digital astrophotography enterprise work, e.g., taking the time to perform a decent drift alignment, getting serious about focusing, etc.

So he's my digital mentor, and I doubt I could keep him away from the telescope if I tried!

Thanks for the words of encouragement.
