Well I wasnt sure where to post this. But here goes!
During the week I was thinking if how will I be able to take a flat field shot when I am away in the field. Then it struck me - why not use a device to have a light on the inside to cover the front of the scope and take the flats that way. Well how do I do it?
I started with a 99 cent bucket (red) and I bought some osram button lights (they have 3 bright leds powered by 3 AAA batteries and are held in place by 3M tape. (see photos. I havent actually taken a shot at the moment to prove the madness but all indications are that it will work. All I need to do is ally an opaque barrier in the optical train, but what to choose? any suggestions welcome!
. I also noted that on the ED80 the dust cover can be used for the same thing, the central cover is removes and with duck tape secure the light to the end.
good idea - dont know. I showed this idea to some esteemed and knowledgeable members of this site for their impressions. They suggested I wear it on my head whilest playing a theme from close encounters, to a quizzical what's it for! Personally I agree, but I think there is a practical use for this idea, for all those DSLR people out there in IIS land
. i am open for input and bagging, but practical input is greatly cherished
