Telescope as Lens

[johnno02]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone else is using a Telescope as a Telephoto lens.

I have been mucking about today with my Nikon D40,and Skywatcher ED80,and am very impressed.
I have been very happy with the Tamron 70-300,but always looking for more reach.

I bought an old non working sigma lens off Ebay some time ago,stripped it down,and used the body to couple the Camera to the telescope.

Getting used to Manual everything is the hardest part,especially for a beginner,but I,m very happy with the setup.

Regards.
John
