Dana it depends on how much you want to spend Meade has one that comes with the software (for beginners) for about $300.00 Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Dana Henriksen<mailto:DANA@novell.com> To: uvaa@mailman.xmission.com<mailto:uvaa@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2004 10:50 PM Subject: [UVAA] Astrophotography Does anyone have a recommendation on what digital camera(s) would be good for astrophotography? What features are important and what features are just nice to have? There have been a few times this year I have tried to take pictures with our digital camera, but it just wasn't designed for night-time photography. I have asked at a few camera stores, but their sales pitches end when I ask about astrophotography - they don't know; so I thought I would look for some real astrophotographers.
