Canon 1000D SLR + 8.5'' Newtonian
September 2010 - the Newtonian is now permanently mounted in the Observatory, and the mirror has been moved up the tube so that the Canon 1000D DSLR can be used at prime focus.

Olympus 2020Z Digital Camera + 8.5'' Newtonian

Olympus 2020Z Digital Camera + 4'' Celestron SLT 102
So the Newtonian got too heavy! I now have a portable 4'' Celestron Nexstar SLT 102. This has an Alt-Az mount, so image rotation is an issue.
