I want to take pictures of the sky with it. Also, any ideas for the main eyepiece (large) and an upside down image on the small eyepiece... (I'm new to skywatching, all advice welcomed). Thanks!

  1. You could try googling for "digiscoping" - that'll give you links for adapters.  You'll only be able to take pictures of the moon though  - the exposure times for anything else will be much too long for that camera.  You could try using a web cam instead - people like Eric Ng and Damien Peach are producing great results that way.

    I'm not sure what you're asking in the second part of the question.  All astronomical telescopes produce an upside down image.  It needs more lenses to make it the right way up, which reduces the amount of light getting to your eye,  degrades the image and increases the price.
