g3 and Celestron 8

[giulcol]

Do anybody knows if is possible to use in someway
the celestron 8 telescope with the Canon g3?
I used till now the body of an old Olympus om1 and
made some great shot.
But the reciprocity effect of films makes the shots long as an hour and more for nebulose or other celestial objects.

If anyone has some util information i'll appreciate very much.

Regards from giuliano (Florence-Italy)

Most of your questions are probably addressed at http://www.scopetronics.com/digitalcam.htm

Also, if you want to go the cheap route, Orion is having a sale on the SteadyPix accessory. (http://www.telescope.com and it's in the clearance section)

I have tried the SteadyPix and I cannot recommend it. It isn't very steady and cumbersome to set up.

I recommend you go with the Digi-T with 40mm MaxView eyepiece from Scoptronics.
