Telescope Buying Guide

freespiritphotography asked:


I have a Nikon D70 digital camera. I was told that as long as I had a T-mount, I can use a telescope on my camera. However, the person that told me did not have information as to which telescopes I need to use for my camera. I’ve searched and have come up with nothing. I’m hoping someone knows something about this. {:O)

I’m not looking for anything major as far as telescopes go, the cheaper the better, and the shorter the better. {:O)

I recently used my Nikon D40x digital slr camera to take some photos of the full moon with a 200mm telephoto. After that experience, I am interested in purchasing a telescope that I can use along with my Nikon D40x to take even better photos of the moon and other night sky bodies. Can anyone recommend a good telescope that would be good for this purpose. I would prefer to spend well under $1000 for any telescope and gear. Thanks.
