... Not at all confused ;) The view visually through the camera is normal due to the mirror. Why would I be concerned about the orientation of the image on the...
There's a much simpler way to get right-side-up images when using the telescope. Just mount the camera upside down. Conversely, use it right side up and, as...
Hi everybody, Thanks for all the suggestions. To clarify things my camera (Canon S30) is not the SLR type and all photography is done thru the camera lens. I...

Take a look at the Stellarvue enhanced 1.25" diagonal. A real bargain for 98% reflectivity, enhanced coatings, etc. http://www.stellarvue.com/diagonals.html ...
