Guest Mr T Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Jupiter and two moons using my wife's little Olympus compact digital camera in video mode. The video is about 120 seconds and I used 30% of the frames when stacked in Registax. Scope is a SW 200P 8" newtonian with 20mm eyepiece and 2x Barlow. Afocal method using a digiscoping adaptor.

catman161 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 How do you achieve focus? Do you do it by eye on the LCD screen on the back of the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr T Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi Felix, I focus the scope in the normal way, then just pop the camera and adaptor on and clamp it to the eyepiece. I the use the hand controller of the GoTo to centre (more or less) the target on the LCD on the back of the camera. You can use the camera zoom as well to magnify a bit. You can adjust focus with the camera attached too, just by watching the image on the LCD, it's quick and good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
