Has anyone used the MaxView DSLR II Adaptor on a dobsonian. I have a Canon Digital 300D camera and a Starmaster 16" scope with the Goto. I'm just starting out in astrophotography and I'm having problems trying to focus. Currently I'm using DSLRFocus as the tool for focusing.

I wish! That's a big light bucket you've got there, how are the skies down there in Atlanta? Pretty dark?

Sorry I can't help with your question, but I hope you get it sorted out and post some photos. With that much mirror you could get some amazing shots! Good luck!

:wave Hiya jstarter. Fascinating set-up. I look forward to seeing your shots. We do have some star shooters here, hopefully they'll see this thread.

j, here's a thread (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=2432&page=2) on shooting the moon. Might be helpful, try asking your focus question there.

Thanks for the info, but I went to the thread and didn't find anything dealing with focusing
