I came across your website in a Google search to see what people have
accomplished with a Nikon D7000 camera, I'm impressed with your photos!
I'm interested because I'm awaiting delivery of a D7100, it's mainly for
regular photography but any digital astrophotography would be a very
nice bonus.

What brand connector to your telescope do you use?

Haven't done astrophotography since I owned my last SLR, a film Nikon
long since retired.

Mike here: Mounting is discussed in the article "How I Do Astrophotography" on the Links page on my Cassiopeia Observatory web site. There are some other articles there you might find useful. Also, check out the Helpful Information: Astrophotography page on my ETX Site.

Ah, I missed that, we are much alike, my first telescope was also from
Edmund, a 6" Newtonian. I had the misfortune of ordering that right
around comet Kohoutek and encountered a 6 month delay, apparently people
thought that the way to see that comet was with a telescope, I'm still
scarred from that delay!

Mike here: Edmund got a lot of us started with telescopes!
