I am very keen to encourage others to start doing some astrophotography. DSLRs provide an easy way to start. My own site is aimed at explaining how to do it and shows many photos taken with Canon EOS cameras: http://www.grelf.net
I have just started out DSLR imaging, using D40 Nikon attached to my 10" F4.8. I have not seen anything positive, from this camera, when used for Astro-imaging. So I wanted to see just what it was capable off.Looking at the first results. I think the D40 is pretty good.And it has encouraged me to continue using it.The image I have here, is an un-guided 20 minute exposure using 10 x 120 second subs.
