I have an 18" f4.5 newtonian that I am going to slightly modify so I can prime focus the camera on it. I was playing around with the field of view indicators on The Sky 6. They had a canon 20D in the detector menu. When I selected it it pretty much gave me the exact field of view of a 13mm ethos. I guess I will find out soon enough if this is right. The camera has more megapixels than the 20D but I think the chip is the same physical size. I have high hopes for this combination of resolution and aperture. -------------------- 18" reflector 14.5" reflector televue ranger denk II power x 14's and 21's 20x110 binoculars 16x70 binoculars 31,17,9 nagles Post Extras:       Rankinstudio professor emeritus Reged: 04/05/08 Posts: 540 Loc: Salt Lake City, UT, Lake Powel...

That is some serious light gathering power. -------------------- David Rankin Website Astro Gallery Orion 254mm F4.7 (imaging scope) Baader MPCC Quickcam pro 9000 (guider, imager) Canon Rebel XSi (self modified) Atlas EQ-G (EQ MOD) Canon 50mm F1.8 II Lens Nikkor ED 180mm F2.8 MF AIS DSLR peltier cooler Post Extras:       Gary Honis Vendor-DSLR Mods Reged: 12/15/04 Posts: 275 Re: Waiting for a Canon Rebel T1i [Re: bbbriggs]       #3409488 - 10/25/09 08:22 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I see you own some Denkmeier gear. If you want to avoid modifying your Newtonian, you could use a Denkmeier OCS (relay lens) to reach focus with your DSLR instead. -------------------- Gary Honis DSLR Modification Service Post Extras:       bbbriggs member Reged: 04/10/09 Posts: 16 Loc: Graham WA Re: Waiting for a Canon Rebel T1i [Re: Gary Honis]       #3410329 - 10/25/09 04:10 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks for that hint, I would not have thought of that. -------------------- 18" reflector 14.5" reflector televue ranger denk II power x 14's and 21's 20x110 binoculars 16x70 binoculars 31,17,9 nagles Post Extras:       revans Carpal Tunnel Reged: 09/26/05 Posts: 1536 Loc: Fitchburg, MA Re: Waiting for a Canon Rebel T1i [Re: bbbriggs]       #3410386 - 10/25/09 04:30 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I just love the Canon Rebel and I have and still use the first one they ever made some years ago. I like it better than my Canon D20a and much much more than my Canon D5... although I guess both of these cameras are a little dated by todays standards... anyway... the ancient Rebel is what I always seem to grab... for regular or astro photography... who needs 10 billion pixels anyway... -------------------- Rick Evans http://www.freewebs.com/revans_01420/ "The universe is there for us to see, but it cannot be understood without learning its language -- mathematics."
