    Astroscope + DSLR = Gallery!

    Paul I don't find your definition a simple one. You assert that the only definition of digiscoping is: "A scope that incorprorates a prism and eyepiece and photographing through it using a camera that has a lens attached" In my years of "digiscoping" I have "digiscoped" through the next...

    Paul, with your knowledge and adding some pieces I'm sure that you could convert your scope even in a microscope, but it will remain being a scope. Glass is glass, and optic laws are the same for all of them, so you can use devices for different purposes for what they were in fact intended, but...

    Hyrax, nice shoots all of them, each one having a special charm

    Astroscope + DSLR = Gallery!

    Everyone has its own opinion, but I simply think that if you use a scope as a part of your photographic system, you are digiscoping. For example, I frequently use an astro scope, but with eyepiece and a compact camera. Other times I work with prime focus... despite of the big differences...

    Hey cango, what a marvelous pictures! The little Oly seems to perform really well, at least in your hands. I love the light of your pictures, which are plenty of detail and texture, great photos with a very natural thus sharp focus. I like specially the Bearded Reedling, because it is the first...

    All of them at prime focus with the Canon 1000D coupled to the Televue 76. Hidden with a camouflage net.

    Huge forest fire Yesterday evening we saw a big forest fire beginning just at my beloved "Barranco Blanco" place. It seemed to be a big fire, but the hot weather and strong winds have converted it in a really huge one. It is still firing and have extended over a broad area, from Coin to...

    I also think that the best place for diaphragming is inside the focuser, in my scope works fine just in front of the barrel of the first extension tube. Going a bit off the main conversation of this thread, I will post more on this in another thread. I have flocked the extension tubes, and have...

    I checked some other apertures that gave me f7.2 and f9. I use a chip focus confirm, and theoretically it works up to f7. In practice if works well with f7.2, and with f9 it only works sometimes, under hard light and over high contrast areas. After a "micrometric adjustment" the chip is great...

    Hi, f13 is achieved in this setup with this 11mm aperture mounted in the first extension tube (the one that goes inside the focuser).

    Diaphragming This one is shooted with an equivalent diaphragm of f13, getting much more DOF and revailing lots of detail. Both of them are cropped

    Televue 76 plus Canon 1000D Hi, this shot is taken at prime focus with the 1000D at 7 meters more or less. With this setup you have 800mm of total focal length and a very narrow deep of field. In this season, here in Spain, every fountain is a good place to take pictures. Using a camouflage net.
