[APML] First Question

["Herbold, John W." <JWHERBOLD@arkbluecross.com>]

Ok, here is my first question as a Astrophotography newbie.  What kind of
photographs can I expect to get out of my current setup.  Am I missing
something simple?

Telescope: Bushnell NorthStar 4.5-inch X 675 reflecting
Eyepiece: Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit - 1.25 Inch
Zhumell Laser Collimator
Zhumell T-Ring - Canon EOS 
Zhumell Universal T-Adapter
Camera: Canon EOS Rebel XT (8MP)
Orion Solar Filter (On backorder)

I have taken a few shots of Venus and Jupiter, but they are low in my sky so
the pictures were faint and blurry. I am trying to play and learn this
"stacking" technique.  I have not had time yet to play with any tracking
features of the scope, as the scope would slide back to horizontal when I
mounted the camera, so I had the wife sew a weight pouch for the aft end.  


Thanks,

John
