DSLR and Meade ETX-90EC

I experimented with connecting a Canon T3i to an ETX-90EC.  I purchase the necessary T-apdater for the ETX along with the T-mount for the Canon.  The connections all went fine.  I focused in the eyepiece and the flipped the mirror.  I add to refocus for the camera.  The first images were okay.

I looked up in the Canon manual how to get the Live View not to turn off too quickly.  I then read the section on Live View and learned how to manually focus.  It was much better once I learned how to zoom in on the Live View.  The automatic focuser was great but still not sensitive enough.  Later, I found out there are speed settings on the focuser so will have to try that.

Overall, the configuration worked fine and ready to test on astronomy objects.
