While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I have a 10" f/10 LX200, and I recently obtained an
Olympus C-3400 digital camera. The camera was
purchased for non-astronomy purposes, but after some
(I thought) impressive pictures just pointing the
camera through the eyepiece I'm considering buying an
adapter to connect the camera to the scope. The
only adapters I've read about are the ones on the
Scopetronix site. Some questions:

Has anyone used their "Digi-T" adapter,

If so, what do you think of it?

Any luck shooting anything other than bright planets
and moon shots?

Are there any other adapters worth looking at?


I'd like to get an SBIG next year, but in the mean
time I'd like to have something to play with. I got
some highly vignetted, yet very in-focus and
reasonably attractive, shots just setting the camera
on a tripod next to 26mm and 14mm eyepieces so I
thought I'd try an adapter.

Thanks for the help.
