I just wanted to show that astro-photography can be done without bucketful's of money !!
I borrowed a budget Celestron telescope from my neighbour (well it's his kids actually- Thanks !)
By using the "microscope mode" I can get within a few mm of the eyepiece & see the image using the camera screen.
It's very hard to focus as I have to move the whole camera up & down a fraction - & I probably have to take 20-30 pictures to get what I want - But its possible & I can get some great results !
