hi
I have a Celestron Ultima 80 spotting scope and am looking to buy a DSLR to attach to it to take photographs. I like looking at wildlife and the night sky also. I wonder if anyone could recommend a good DSLR to use with it for these purposes?
I have been recommended the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 and also the Ricoh GXR.
Does anyone have any experiences they can pass on to a novice please?
thanks :-)

No particular DSLR will be better or worse than any other. What you need to a way of linking the camera to the scope and there is a lot of information on the 'net.
Some folks find a non DSLR camera useful for digiscoping.
Have a look at Digi-scoping for example, or as you have a Celestron scope, this one Set up for Beginners - Digiscoping Discussion Advice Learn to Digiscope
But there are loads of others.

not sure of best make or model but for the sky part live view and a flip out screen is handy saves laying on the floor when pointing your scope up at the sky if you havn't got a 45degree viewer. |

The old Nikon CP450 was a classic, is your scope straight or angled
