Hi to all,
         If you were to purchase a camera for astrophotography work what kind
would one buy. Your help would be appreciated. If there are any sights that I
might go to with more information please let me know.
                Thanks in advance,
 

Hi Joe:

Go for a simple purely manual 35mm SLR, something like the Pentax K-1000 or LX (the LX has interchangeable focusing screens and viewfinders), Nikon F,F2,FM2N,or Nikkormat FT2, Canon F1,FTb, etc.

It's important that the camera's shutter doesn't work electriclly. My F3's shutter does and on really cold nights they will freeze up until you take them inside and let the battery warm up.

You can find ton's of these cameras used.
