digiscoping adapter easy to install
It's been almost 9 months that I have the telescope, and one of the first things you think of when you have one is trying to photograph what you see, to have a souvenir or just
teach it to their friends and family. Of course, the
astrophotography is not easy
, you need good telescopes, cameras
good and good adaptability to achieve satisfactory results
. The camera, preferably
reflex, but if not, then with a compact can cost you to get started in astrophotography
. I have a Canon compact, 3.2 megapixel
, and at the moment I workaround as I can with it. Once we
telescope and camera that immortalize our
observations, we need an adapter to "unite" the camera with the lens of the telescope. This technique
photo is called
disgiscoping , and of course if we have no adapter can do little. I had hitherto tried to make the photos by holding the handheld camera to the telescope, after many attempts
getting decent pictures, but it was a pain,
had to be patient and above all have pulse saliesen you do not shake. There comes a time when you stop them because you almost always go wrong, and that's when you start looking for Internet
disgiscoping
adapters. And find the find, but seeing the price and simplicity, try making
I preferred one, so I was looking through different forums digiscoping adapters

, and a pair of rubber band
. With images
going to understand it better:
-Camera:
-clamp and rubber band :
-placed the clamp on the camera lens:
-stand with clamp camera on the telescope lens , and holds the rubber band :
Yes, it is very rudimentary and a bit shabby, but effective, at least in my case. In this way, I can take pictures without blur me, just focus, I give the
that option, then shoot 10 seconds and give the
trigger button.
10 seconds later and the telescope
completely still, the camera takes the picture without image blur or fuzzy. After the picture quality will depend
of the camera and the options on this.
also have encouraged me to record some
another video of the Moon, which will publish in a forthcoming
entry.
