OK.... What else do I need?
My father passed away a couple of months ago. One of myriad of toys he had was a Canon Rebel T5. Compete with T-adapter. So I guess I need to hook it up to the C8 and give it a try.
What else am I going to need besides patience??????

Re: OK.... What else do I need?
Are you kidding, Scott? The list is endless. Software including an image capture program, stacking software, processing software, I could go on and on.
A guide scope, and guiding software... or you could just hook up the camera, run some images, and see what develops.
