Hello there,
Is anyone out there who was successful using eyepiece projection to increase FOV of digital surveillance camera. It seems that eyepiece projection is used only to capture images of planets or moon. My setup is Meade ETX-80 scope , MaxView 40 eyepiece and KPC-650BH surveillance camera. There are two things that baffle me. 1.) I can see more stars in my 25mm view finder than thru camera. This is a low lux camera and I should be able to see fainter objects, yet a 25mm view finder beats it. 2.) The bright stars look like comets and Jupiter moons are not visible at all. I get decent results when I use the camera in prime focus, however FOV is so small that makes it useless to me. My primary interest is satellite tracking I need a system with as large FOV as possible. |
