Hi All,

I've been thinking about doing some astrophotography and I seen this scope advertised on Lidl for sale this Thursday ( http://www.lidl.ie/IE/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20071108.p.MeadeReflectorTelescopeLXD75 ), a quick google of it seems to say its a good beginners scope with room to grow. Can anyone give any advice on this and what other adapters I would need and where to get them for a canon eos camera.

Many thanks

Or even www.irishastronomy.org. Good message board there, with lots of experienced photographers, plus plenty on that telescope Lidl are selling.
