  • Using a Canon EOS M50 As a Dedicated, Afocal, Microscope Camera Steve Neeley (USA)
    Using a Canon EOS M50 as a Dedicated, Afocal, Microscope Camera Steve Neeley (USA) From Wikipedia: “Afocal photography, also called afocal imaging or afocal projection, is a method of photography where the camera with its lens attached is mounted over the eyepiece of another image forming system such as an optical telescope or optical microscope, with the camera lens taking the place of the human eye.” Except for a very few hours experimenting with a borrowed Canon 40D back in 2011, I had no experience with coupling and using a camera with my Leitz Ortholux I microscope. But I was able to get surprisingly good coverage of its sensor – which was encouraging. Above: Phase Contrast Image of a diatom strew slide from experiments with a Canon 40D in 2011. Recently, in trying to rekindle and expand my hobby, I bought my own camera -- a Canon M50 -- to use as a dedicated microscope camera. This article shares my experience in coupling and using the M50 on the Ortholux. Disclaimer. As a colleague often says, “I’m not buying or selling here” – meaning, in this case, that I did earnest, but certainly spotty, research before buying the M50, and it was only after I had it in hand and could work with it on the scope, that I finally understood some things, as in ‘Oh! NOW I understand.” I bought what I could afford, not what was the absolute best solution for my priorities. Not ‘selling’ you on the M50 – you might find something better. 1 Priorities 1. To share my hobby in ‘live view’, on screen, with family so they do not need to use the eyepieces (this is especially hard for children).

  • Astrophotography: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques
    Astrophotography: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques Clay S. Turner Sept. 24, 2011 Astrophotography without a Telescope • Use camera on a tripod • Use remote shutter release • Do long exposures with large apertures (“Fast Lenses”) • Include landscape with sky to make image interesting. • Modern low noise DSLRs allow high ISOs to facilitate short exposures. Yellowstone National Park Lowell Observatory Iridium Flares Lowell Observatory Piggyback Astrophotography • Here you attach your camera onto a telescope to use the scope’s tracking. • Camera uses its own lens and not the scope’s optics. • Useful for medium to large areas of the sky. Shot with DSLR and 180 mm lens Three basic ways to image through your telescope. • Prime Focus • Eyepiece Projection • Afocal Photography Prime Focus Imaging • The telescope’s objective is used in place of a “long lens” in photography. Thus the camera, sans lens, is connected where the eyepiece normally goes. • DSLRs are usually used in this mode of Astro-Imaging. • Preferred method of imaging by professional astronomers. Eyepiece Projection • Just like with Prime Focus photography, a camera is used without its lens. But in this case the eyepiece is used to magnify and project the image onto the camera’s sensor (film). • There are special adaptors that will contain the eyepiece and also hold the camera with variable spacing (magnification) permitted. Afocal Photography • In this case the telescope with its eyepiece is focused so an observer while looking into the eyepiece sees the object clearly. Then a camera with a lens is then used to image the object while looking into the eyepiece. Birders often call this technique “digiscoping.” Simple low cost “point and shoot” cameras may be used this way.

  • Instruction Manual
    Instruction Manual Congratulations on the purchase of Omegon® variable projection and focal adapter 1.25”. Also known as tele- extender, it is used for afocal photography with an eyepiece and a camera. 1. How does it work? A 1.25” eyepiece – with a maximum of body diameter of 38m - is inserted (eyepiece lens facing out) in the system through the aperture on the back (#5 – figure 1). Then it slides all the way in so that it is fixed by the Eyepiece fixation thumbscrew (#6 – figure 1). Usually one wants to start using an eyepiece of high focal length (say 25mm). The Figure 1. Features. camera can be attached to the T-Threads (#5 – figure 1) if it has T-Threads (M42x0.75). 1- Nosepiece adapter 1.25”; 2- Eyepiece body; 3- Extender fixing thumbscrews; DSLR Cameras usually use bayonet systems that 4- T-Thread body; allow to change objectives. Remove the objective 5- T-Threads; from the camera and attached a compatible T-ring 6- Eyepiece fixation thumbscrew. (list of compatibility at the end of this document) – not supplied. In theory, any camera with T-Threads or with a T-ring can be used for projection photography. The performance depends on the combination of distance between the eyepiece and camera sensor, eyepiece optical design and camera sensor (size). 2.1. Attaching the tele-extender to the telescope. The Figure 2. assembled system (as decribed in 1) should now be attached to a telescope. There are two options. If the A – Camera (DSLR); telescope’s focuser has T-Threads we suggest removing B – T adapter; the 1.25” nosepiece from the telextender and directly C – Eyepiece; D – Tele-extender.

  • Birdwatching Birdwatching
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdwatching Birdwatching From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Birdwatchers" redirects here. For the movie, see BirdWatchers (film); for the rock band, see The Birdwatchers. "Birding" redirects here. For the killing of birds, see hunting; for the capture of birds, see bird trapping; for the magazine, see Birding (magazine). People birdwatching on Orchid Island in Indian River County, Florida Birdwatching, or birding, is a form of wildlife observation in which the observation of birds is a recreational activity. It can be done with the naked eye, through a visual enhancement device like binoculars and telescopes, or by listening for bird sounds.[1][2] Birdwatching often involves a significant auditory component, as many bird species are more easily detected and identified by ear than by eye. Most birdwatchers pursue this activity for recreational or social reasons, unlike ornithologists, who engage in the study of birds using formal scientific methods.[1][2] Birding, birdwatching, and twitching A birdwatching tower in Hankasalmi, Finland The first recorded use of the term birdwatcher was in 1891; bird was introduced as a verb in 1918.[3] The term birding was also used for the practice of fowling or hunting with firearms as in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602): "She laments sir... her husband goes this morning a-birding."[4] The terms birding and birdwatching are today used by some interchangeably, although some participants prefer birding, partly because it includes the auditory aspects of enjoying birds. In North America, many birders differentiate themselves from birdwatchers, and the term birder is unknown to most lay people.
