So I just purchased this wonderful camera and am waiting for it to get shipped. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions as to how I should use it for astrophotography. I have a 127mm Mak Cass on a SVP mount so I might have to either find a focal reducer or get another scope to do imaging of DSOs. Any of you have experience doing planetary astrophotography w/ this camera or any other DSLR? What are the settings I should use for planetary or planetary nebula astrophotography? Thanks.
