Great Pictures

Posted By Robert Watters
I'll have to second that!
I've been away as well and there are just to many great photos to comment on individually.

Welcome to the group Yu.
Nice shot. What equipment do you shoot with?

PS: I've admired your highly detailed planetary images in the CCD forum for some time now. Keep up the good work and post often.

Mockingbird Head Shot

Nice close up.

Maybe it's just this shot but they don't look like a very nice bird.

Off-Axis Guider + Autoguider

Posted By Robert Watters
Yes, this is very commom practice on SCT's and Newtonians and is the prefered method. You may need an extension tube for proper focus when dealing with the SCT's depending on what focal ratio your shooting at.

It does make finding a guide star much more difficult. :-)

Nikon D70 Digital SLR vs. Canon Rebel Digital SLR

Posted By Robert Watters
I would wait if you are serious about the D70. Aren't many out yet and I haven't heard anything about their astro performance. We pretty much know the 300D and D10 perform well.

Another thing to consider is if you don't already own Nikon lenses and stuff you might be in store for some sticker shock.
