Orion 5" Starmax 127 F12 Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope

Orion Starmax 127 5" f12 Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope (MCT) - This is my latest telescope of quite a few that I have owned over the last 10 years! So far the main use for this telescope has been for digital deepsky and planetary photography. I am just amazed that even thought its meant to be used as a planetary scope due to its large focal lenght, it performs great for deepsky!!! The camera attached to the telescope is my canon G3 4MP digital camera which is attached by a scopetronix digi-t-adaptor and a scopetronix 25mm plossal eyepiece. This camera is the one i use most for astrophotography. Other cameras I have used in the past are a pantex K2 SLR film camera, a connectix color quickcam VC, a connectix black and white webcam and a canon g2 (which i don't own anymore). What will be after the G3? my next step up will deffenitly have to be a DSLR but with my very shollaw pockets that will have to wait :-)
