dobs are great for observing, found out not so good for DSO photos, and the planets are a bit tricky

if your into the moon, with a little trial and error, you may have the camera already, and can get some good shots, with the right software and processing.

heres a shot of the moon i took with my dob last week, simple point and shoot kodak on a camera mount that orion sells that attaches to the eyepiece ( afocal ) its like 25$ or so.

hope this helped a bit....main thing.....start with in your means, and grow!

I'm not an imager, but I do know that photography with a dob mounted reflector posses some significant challenges. Good luck.

I've been observing for about a year now and I'm looking for something better. Does anyone know what kind of camera I should get for my Dobsoinan because i have no idea what kind to get. Does anyone mind clearing the field of Astroimaging up for me because I'm lost. Please and Thank You
