Moon photography help

lewbags · 29 Feb 2024

Hello guys, first post here.

My dad is religiously photographing the moon, and is getting incredible results... he is using a phone with a dedicated mount on his celestron telescope. I have given him an old 550d, however he is sticking to what is working and convenient. My question is - is there an affordable mount for a dslr, and also what lens set up should he be using going into the telescope? Youtube isn't helping me much!

Thanks in advance
