Council for someone who is new to astrophotography and telescope alignment?
Hello, I'm getting a telescope for the first time (an Orion StarMAX 102) and comes with a German equatorial mount em [8] and a motor CELESTRON AutoGuide. I am very interested in doing astrophotography with it, but you've never had a telescope before I'm not sure how to get lined up for motor drive track properly. I've looked on a website online and I thought rather complex way he said it so. I am not too sure about how to take pictures with my camera. I currently own an Olympus OM-10 and an Olympus E-300 camera digital and can get the ring so that I can connect to the scope, but I'm not sure about the approach. again I found a web site but it seemed rather complex. I'm thinking I should use my om-10 and the exposure times are very long, so the noise from the digital camera would be out of this world. Any ideas for Newby for astrophotography.
Orion Telescopes have a great site. As for accessories http://www.telescope.com/jump.jsp?itemType=CATEGORY&itemID=29 picture to go with telescopes. You will find a pair of "universal adapter" of interest. There is also a book on astronomical photography could be a good idea for you. Furthermore, from any page, click on the link "Learning Center" near the top of the page. Write "Photo" in the search box and find 22 articles that will help.
