Astrophotography ??

[smcconsulting]

Has anyone have experiences with building a camera mount for a telescope, short of ordering a t ring or some other expensive add on equipment. I would like to try building my own and I am just wondering if any of you folks have tried or known someone who has tried. Tomorrow night is "International observe the moon night" and I doubt I could get a t ring shipped to my location in time.

Thanks in advance for any input!....... Chris

PS. It is Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend and i would like to wish all my Canadian country men/women a happy Thanksgiving

Good luck Chris -- I reckon it could be quite tricky.
