Greetings!

I found out about your website while doing research on buying a new digital camera (I've had two different - what I would consider "point and shoot" - and am looking to step up to something more capable) and came across some information from "ShutterTalk". Am very excited to have found this site and hoping to learn and provide, where my meager skills/knowledge could come into play, information to the enhancing of my abilities and to the skills of others.

Especially would like to develop some astro-photography skills and start taking some serious pictures. I have a Meade telescope that will accommodate a DSLR and track celestial objects...it's not a high-end telescope but something that meets my needs. That is, if I can ever get the blasted motors to calibrate. Lol.

Well, again, greetings and looking forward to some healthy interaction.[email=chazbo82@zoominternet.net]

Hi Korry,

The search is still on, but I'm favoring the Canons and Nikons - specifically the Canon EOS Rebel T3i and the Nikon D7000 and maybe the D5200; however, that could change as my research continues. I'm looking to dabble in astrophotography (an interest I've had for quite some time) and have expanded parameters to include that capability. The budget (can't go over $1,000 or my better half would execute me - LOL - maybe better expressed - lol - she's got good hearing) will determine how far I can go.

I'm sure once I have made my purchase I will be posting photographs for everyone's input. I have a convention coming up in July (horror/sci-fi gathering) and would like to be prepared for taking some great photos.

Time will tell.

Great hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Chuck Cobern
