You're in luck. There are at least three people that image with a Canon 300D or 350D
Have a look here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mdasimaging/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1
Or course now one might be more inclined to buy the new Canon's.

Hi all,
I saw the flier at the meeting today so I joined the group. I haven't done any imaging and I don't even have equipment for it yet. But it's something that I
have an ultimate interest in doing so I'm going to lurk for awhile and learn. I may pepper you with a question or two when I'm ready.
My first question for you, though, is that I want to get a Canon digital SLR as I have a lens that will fit. Most of the forums I'm seeing people use Canon products--does anybody image with a camera or are you all using CCD chips like Jim?

Hey Michael, I just wanted to make sure that you still had your talk planned for the next SIG meeting. I want to try something new for the newsletter and I...
Hello Rob, That's great you closed the loop. I really appreciate that, as I like planning ahead. Since K08SK9D, I have another half dozen asteroids: 2008 TR10...
Michael, Are you sure that you would still like to try for the December meeting? Let me put the word out and see if anyone else would like to step up. We may...
Stuart, Welcome to the SIG. Like Michael says, there are a couple of people who image using their DSLR. Ron Sigourney would be an excellent resource on this...
HI Stuart, That's actually a great place to be starting from. It means you're not saddled with old equipment. And your "powder is dry" as far as being prepared...
Michael, Thanks, I'll be happy to take this off line if you want. I have a 140 mm apo refractor that has quite good optics, but the aperture isn't that big...
Hi Stuart,      A 140 mm APO is a perfect and versatile (classic in fact) all-round instrument for imaging - especially here in the Bay Area. I am...
The mount is a skywatcher EQ-6 which is a heavy duty mount, but from my reading isn't that good for imaging. I'm sort of stuck with it as it came with the...
Chris, Yes, it's an F7. Someone asked me that and I neglected to say. The mount is equatorial and I can polar align it. It's pretty stable--I put it on the...
Not sure what a focal reducer is--but that will be part of the learning process. I'm looking forward to learning more--thanks for your help! -- Hi Stuart, ...
Great, thanks for the info. I'll check on the TEC news group to see what they use. I certainly won't get one now--as I said I'm gathering information. That's...

Thanks. I'll look into the focal reducer--the telescope maker is on the website. I'm very happy with the telescope--all my thanks goes to Jim for spotting it...
The Canon XSI is an APS sized sensor. Try it first with the AP140 without a Field Flattener. Chris -- Thanks. I'll look into the focal reducer--the telescope...
