That's a great telescope for lunar and planetary imaging! Pick up an imaging camera like Celestron's excellent NexImage 5 plus a decent 2x barlow and you'll get pretty great results for about a $200 investment.

If you were thinking more about deep space, long-exposure stuff, that's a no-go. But it's a seriously great telescope otherwise.

Would a Canon T3 with crop mode (using BackyardEOS) be comparable in image quality to a planetary webcam such as this one? Not sure if anyone will know, but I thought I'd throw this question out here anyway.

I'm assuming that you're using a DSLR by you saying that you used 1/2 second and Iso 800. When I used a DSLR, I got terrible results. I was using setting of around 1/40th of a second and ISO 200. It was enough to get This picture. After switching to a Celestron NexImage5, I began to get images like This. You actually pick your settings and take a video and stack/correct them in Registax.

Hopefully, this will help you out some in getting a good image.

Edit/P.S. I'm using an 8" SCT, not a Newt.

I am hoping to find a decent one for relatively inexpensive (I know I get what I pay for). Here are a few I have been looking at.

I am most likely going to pick up the last one I posted (Orion Starshoot IV) but the reviews worry me. Again I am new to astrophotography and I apologize if my questions seem dense. I just want to be able to get my feet wet but I want to do it the right way. Do you have any suggestions?
