 Better off removing the lens and using the telescope eyepiece. A proper camera for use with a telescope was expensive last time I looked at a price but might have improved.


this is our project for the summer, remove the lens and get the poor little thing to work at prime focus without. Preferably retaining the ability to add a barlow lens for increased reach if we want it. It doesnt look too hard in the how-to we have got so hopefully some good results will be forthcoming.

The proper CCD cams for scopes are still pricey. the cheapest one is the Celestron at about £100, but thats basically just a webcam with a 1 1/4 inch addaptor already installed. The cooled meade on is very pricey.
