afocal bino shot? now thats something new!
turned out fine tho hey.
looks like the image to the left.... funny that.

what made you do that tho?

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Nice shot. Might start a new trend.

[asimov (John)]

Ving. I dunno what made me do it? Just my experimental nature I guess.

[iceman (Mike)]

Nice one John, i've done afocal bino shots myself, before I got my telescope

[asimov (John)]

Yeah. I guess I look at binos as 2 refractors strapped together. With a prism in the train though.

That shot actually shows the benefits of a smaller aperture on a bright object. My afocal shots through the dob are often burnt out.

Hi Rob. I have some pretty good shots taken through a 60mm terrestrial refractor. They came out a lot better than using the big reflector.

I have been thingking of geting one of these Universal Adapters.. Maybe my 10x50's could be dusted off for some afocal imaging of the moon.
