Thanks so much! I’ve been reading about astro photography for a while now, those T-rings look amazingly fun and easy to use. No telescope though, but will try with 300mm+ lenses.

Hi that was really excellent many thanks.

Just one question and maybe I missed it but how does the camera keep track of the object? I have read that another camera eg webcam or auto guide is needed on the spotting cope which then is connected to the computer, and this instructs the mount so that the DSLR/main telesocpe keeps pointed on the object.

I am a bit confused about this. Thanks
