One other thing, when you get the camera, also get the MFR3 focal reducer, and the 10mm spacer ring... (or just tell Jack what you have/want to do, and he'll set you right up!) clear enough skies -------------------- Dave Ustream YLive XT10i, RTP, CGE, R200CF, TMB80SS 31T5, 22T4, 13Ethos, 8Ethos, TV 3-6 Zoom; Paracorr MallincamColorHyperPlus,SBIG STV&237A;CanonRebel Xti WilderSkiesObservatory(BYO #90) Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
