Hi again Steve, As far as a general rule for number of exposures for DSOs, well, with the color camera I would say a minimum of 50. As far as length of...

Hello, I have a Canon Digital Rebel EXT that I would like to use with my LX90. Can somebody tell me what parts I would need to use the camera with the LX90?...

Hey Buddy! I got some pics of the orion nebula. Good or not I got them. I did not use the auto tracking with the Autostar Suite. Had some problem with the USB...
