The EOS 1000D and 1100D are fine, but they can only do 12-bit RAW files. The EQ5 is fine for such a small scope, and a 150 mm reflector is probably the largest scope you would want to use with this mount.Īny recent Canon or Nikon camera with Live View function should be good for imaging. I own the EQ5 mount and started with a small 80 mm refractor, a very common scope for learning astrophotography. This big reflector scope with 1000 mm focal length will magnify all the errors in the tracking of your mount and it is very easily disturbed by wind. Deep-space objects are very dim and require very long exposure times which need to be tracked with extreme precision. If you want to do deep-space astrophotography with this mount, you should get a smaller and lighter scope. The 200 mm scope is big and heavy, pretty much only suitable for visual observations or lunar and planetary photography on the EQ5 mount. ![]() You picked a very nice topic, astrophotography is amazing! However, I would not recommend the 200pds + EQ5 for doing imaging.
