T A WOW Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Also looking at this one Tobias!! http://www.firstlightoptics.com/moonlite-focusers/moonlite-cf-crayford-focuser-for-refractors.html (Nice in red or Orange!!) I did think about a moonlite. But another £80 for a adapter to fit it to my scope would make it a bit to pricey for me, especially as I'm only dirty visual.

Surely that's the sort of thing you can make up yourself with your skill set Tobias? M43 T adaptor for Hyperion zoom lens and a 4 socket cigarette adapter for battery box Hmmm Felix ... you are aware three of those outputs are limited / rated at only 1A aren't you?

T A WOW Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Surely that's the sort of thing you can make up yourself with your skill set Tobias? It wouldn't be any issue skill wise no, but I'm so busy at work at doing 12 hour shifts. Which looks like it'll be that way for at least a year, so I'd never get chance to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I've now ordered a T-mount to go with my T-Ring, so will be doing straight through photography with my DSLR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Revalation astro 3 inch hyperfocus rack & pinion refractor focuser for my bresser 152 frac.http://www.telescopehouse.com/acatalog/info-Q3G-A.html Bit overkill, but hey why not. Thing is Tobias a decent focuser is an investment, you can fit it to any future refractors you get, just make sure you keep the old focuser so you can refit it when you sell the Bresser and get the Tak 130 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr T Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I purchased a programmable shutter release new from eBay for my DSLR. My thinking was I would programme duration and number of exposures, so I wasn't tied to my scope like I am with my manual release cable. It has a mind of its own. It's cheap rubbish awful product (C.R.A.P.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 use Astro Photography Tool , free software and works a treat with the canon and ccd cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yup APT's deffo the way to go - some of those cheapo shutter releases are dead naff I agree. I have other uses for the battery grip as well as astro cos we have two 1000D's and the extra battery will prolong camera use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawson Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 This is the remote I use for my DSLR: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hahnel-Giga-Pro-Wireless-Canon/dp/B00345XKV4 JD P.S. There is some firm ware which you can load onto the memory card for some cameras and access an inbuilt intervalometer, like this one: http://www.magiclantern.fm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
