Unless you have a removable camera lense, you have to couple afocally as =
you have done with your moonshot. Many nice adapters are available. =
Since you have televue eyepieces, but the one from them. Visit the yahoo =
digital_astro group. this is the most active group of people I've seen =
on an astro board and they are very helpful and take some great =
pictures. You can find out everything you need to know there. --Jerry
