The DS126191 looks to be the Rebel XS as you mentioned. You can find a lot of discussion about it on CN forums. I believe what Joshiewowa comment above was eluding to, is that without video you cannot perform "lucky imaging" for lunar/planetary. If you don't have one already, you'll need a "t-ring" or "EOS adapter" that screws into the camera body like a lens an then slides into the eyepiece holder for prime focus. I don't have any experience with the 75-300mm lens so I can't comment on "how good" it is, but the Rebel's 1.6x crop sensor at 300mm (480mm equivalent) is a decent setup for the moon and brighter DSO's (orion nebula, etc). I used it in piggy-back fashion with a 70-200mm lens as well as at prime focus and it produced some decent images. One of photography sayings is something like "the best camera is the one you have with you" and it sounds like you certainly have the equipment to get started.Īny of the Rebel series cameras are an excellent starting point for "fast exposure" lunar photography as well as learning the process of deep sky object (DSO) imaging. My first DSLR was the original 6.3 megapixel Digital Rebel, purchased in 2004. I recently acquired a Canon Rebel Camera Body, and a 75 to 300 Zoom Lens.I did a search, but came up with nothing.I am curious would this camera body be any good for fast exposure lunar, and planetary photography? i have several different scope, or I could just piggyback it.Any info would be appreciated.
