Good luck in that endeavor. Lots of fun doing that. I did it for years until I took attached a camera to the scope, then I was hooked. I have old school stuff so its a real challenge to get everything right. Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes not.☺
Personally I have not used an eyepiece in years, not because it’s less amazing, or not as good, but because the camera can see so much more and I get to look at the images later. Plus it allows me to compare them to other images of the same object taken months/years earlier. I do this looking for any changes of the targeted object. Of course then it requires learning how to process raw images to squeeze all the data out. That’s a real challenge for me.
Btw, Celestron makes some great scopes. Good luck.
Most of my life as an amateur astronomer, I’ve enjoyed looking through the eyepiece. I didn’t think I had the patience for astrophotography.
Now that I’m retired, I wouldn’t mind doing at least planetary photography. I just don’t have a good camera for deep sky. I’m going to try to use my cellphone- I bought a Celestron NexYZ adapter. I just have to find a good location clear of trees….
“the camera can see so much more and I get to look at the images later.”
I get that. I’m just fed up with all of the digital image massaging. I might change my mind.
I saw a news report that film photography was making a comeback.
My son and law takes night sky photos with his digital camera. Quite good.
