    Need Advice on Astrophotography with LXD75

    I have a Meade LXD75 and would like to take astro photos. Should I use a 35 SLR mm piggy back or buy a CDD camera? I am a newbie at astrophotography. Any inputs and insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks !

    One advantage of piggy backing wide angle views is that it is more forgiving of inaccurate alignment or gear sloppiness than a through-the-telescope image.
