I do have an 8 inch Schmidt Cassegrain telescope (C8 Deluxe), I just wanted
to experiment a bit with piggybacking a 400mm lens on top of the scope. You
can get some extraordinary pics this way!!!!

I'm wondering if maybe finding a used telescope might not fit the bill
better
for astrophotography. I have the Zuiko 400mm and it reaches out there but
not really that far. I've made some decent lunar shots (was going to say
moon shots but I know this groups ability to twist the thread) using a
Tamron
500mm mirror and a 2X teleconverter. That is a relatively inexpensive way
to
reach out there a bit, however it does become a difficult finding your
subject at 1000mm. Maybe someone with experience with consumer grade
telescopes might jump in on this thread. Bill Barber
