New laptop and a basic question or two.

Taking the leap from my trusty, old OM-1 to digital.

Have have aquired a new notebook, Toshiba M45 s359 w/a wireless connection to the modem/router. 3 USB connections and a fast processor, big drive, big memory etc.

Using a classic LX200 10" mounted on a superwedge on a steel pier.

I am considering purchasing a Digital Rebel. Or some other comparable DSLR.

My question is, is there a site that covers the basics on using the DSLR camera specifically with a laptop, and addresses what is required, using the laptop for focusing, imaging, software used? etc. What kind of cabling for the camera to the scope? Recommended camera adapters?

Now that I have the laptop (which I needed anyway for work) and the scope, I am looking forward to *slowly* getting involved in digital imaging with a DSLR. Unfortunatly, I don't have a lot of time right now, so I will be taking my time one step at a time.

Thanks for any advise or links.

And I apologize, as I am sure the info is here somewhere, but I just don't have much time to search for it.

I sincerely appreciate any help/advice that is offered.

Google DSLR Focus and look at their website.
And then try Images Plus by Mike Unsold.

It is good software. There are others even more powerful, but more expensive.
