Ioannis:

Does anyone have any links to astrophotos (digital/film) taken with smaller
cheapo refractors in the 60-80mm range?

I would like to get an idea how such a telescope performs when properly
(equatorially) guided.

The following are neither the best nor the worst of their kind that I
have seen. I took them with a Canon 20D on a TeleVue 76 under
light-polluted skies. The TV 76 is not a cheapo, but I believe that
there are less expensive 'scopes that could better these pics in
more-skilled hands than mine.

In the latter image I captured a Mag. 19 star in a four-minute
exposure.
