ving..

Im using the canon eos 300D. I always use manual settings! love the control factor. plus its the best way to learn about the camera and what works well in taking photos!

image 1 - shutter speed sais 1/2 sec exposure time is 1/1.7 sec hrm. iso is 100

image 2 - 10 second ISO 100

image 3 - is a combination of two images, iso 1600, exposure 1/10 sec, with the camera lens being at a f5.6, handheld photo pointing into a 6mm lens into the scope.

the 6mm lens is not the best quality aswell. It is actually part of the celestron accessory kit that were going for $99 US, and after shipping ended up around $190Au all up, much cheaper then i could get in australia.

i will have to try the fixed camera though.. i have just bought a new heavy duty tripod which will allow me to go both vertically and horizontally. picked that up at a computer fair in wollongong for $89!! bargin! exaclty what i was after!!


i realise some of my photos are out of focus. which is the point. with the projection method they are extremely out of focus! i got better quality photos holding my camera up to the lens, then attaching it to the scope using the projection method.


ponders..

i have seen the piccies... hence the temptation of doing a different method!!
