Are the 6 spikes on the large star due to the spider vanes on the Mewlon, or did you generated them?

Alvaro, you'll be able to use it with your scope, no matter if you have a wedge or not...
The only issue is that you'll ONLY be able to take SHORTER exposure shots, like in the 30+/- second range. For longer shots you'll need a wedge.

This "sample" shot was taken in Alt-Az, no wedge, using a 10" LX-200GPS and a combination of 30second shots... 8)

Can you take deep space images with a digital came

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Chris, it depends on the camera capabilities, sensitivity & possible exposure times...
What camera do you have in mind? a DSLR or a Point & Shoot?

DSLRs are VERY capable of taking beautiful shots, but depending of what you plan to shoot, you might need special cables/adapters/lenses/programs...

Please provide more info...
