This setup can easily give you a lens equivalent of about 2,300 mm. That’s a very high magnification when you consider the biggest telephoto lenses for regular cameras are usually smaller than 1,000 mm and generally around 400 – 600 mm. Also, digiscoping equipment costs much less than high-quality large telephoto lenses and often weighs much less.

    Engineering and Urology Society 29th Annual Meeting Saturday May 17th, 2014 Orlando, FL http://engineering-urology.org/ The Engineering and Urology Society offers a unique opportunity for collaboration where engineering innovation meets clinical demand. This leads to an unparalleled exchange of ideas and routes to address clinical problems with engineering solutions. The ultimate forum where these interchanges occur is at the Annual Meeting of the Engineering and Urology Society held in conjunction with the Annual American Urological Association Meeting. The EUS meeting is also the only dedicated section of the Endourology Society at the AUA. The Annual Meeting of the Engineering and Urology Society offers the delegates an opportunity to present and learn about the latest research developments in urologic technology. The morning session consists of state of the art lectures and discussions in cutting-edge areas of technology. The afternoon poster sessions and ever-growing subgroup meetings allow members to present their work, discuss, and obtain further feedback and ideas from fellow technophiles. This year’s 29th Annual Meeting will take place on May 17th, and has been organized by program chairmen Stavros Gravas, Bodo Knudsen, and M. Pilar Laguna. The morning sessions will begin with a thought- provoking discussion on the intersection of lab training and new imaging technology and urology. Following that, the spotlight is turned to advances in evidence making in uro-technology.

  • 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 Cassini 76 DOB English version 8.2014 Rev A 1 The Zoomion® Cassini 76 DOB Congratulations on the purchase of the new Zoomion® Cassini 76 DOB. This small telescope will give you hours of fun, with its all optical glass mirror and super compactness, and it is the ideal companion to start in the world of amateur astronomy. With this telescope you will be able to see the craters on the Moon, star clusters, some nebulae and a glimpse of the Jupiter disc features and its Galilean moons and the rings of Saturn. We have included many accessories so it will be easy to use this telescope. 1. Included parts we have included several accessories that will make the use of the telescope easier and fun, please take a look at the list of the parts so you can identify them in the future. 1. 1.5x Erecting Lens; 2. 2x magnification Barlow Lens; 3, 4, 5 and 6. Four eyepieces 1.25” (31.75mm); a H20mm, H12.5mm, H6mm and a SR4mm eyepiece; 2. Getting Started. It is very simple to get started. Here is how the telescope works. The telescope aperture should point to the object being observed. The mirror on back of the tube will gather the light coming from the object and reflects it to the secondary mirror that brings it to the eyepiece. Close to the aperture there is the focuser. The focuser moves up and down to get a precise focused image. At the focuser one can use the supplied accessories. Different accessories combinations give different results, such as different image magnifications or correct image for example.

  • And Photography Eyepiece Projection with Solar System Imagers
    For visual observation and photography EYEPIECE PROJECTION with solar system imagers Images of the planets require large effective focal lengths, which you can easily achieve with eyepiece projection. A longer distance between eyepiece and sensor gives you a higher magni- fication. The adapter M43/T-2 #2958080 is used to con- nect als items of the Astro T-2 System® to the eye- piece, including 1¼"-eyepiece clamps for video modules / solar system imagers. Or you take the C-Mount-adapter #2958520 to screw matching cameras onto the eyepiece – tilt- and light-proof. REQUIRED PARTS: camera module, e.g. Celestron Skyris 1¼" eyepiece clamp, e.g. Clicklock clamp #2458100 (pictured) or focusing eyepiece holder #2458125, alternativly C-Mount-adapter #2958520 T-2 extension tube, as required: 40mm (pictured): #1508153 15mm: #1508154 7.5mm: #1508155 Morpheus®-adapter M43/T-2 #2958080 Morpheus® eyepiece EYEPIECE PROJECTION with DSLR & system cameras The large sensor of a DSLR or system camera gives you a large field of view even at high magnifications. This is use- ful for images of sun and moon as well as for nature photography with a spot- ting scope. To avoid vignetting, you should keep 40 mm of dis- tance between the Morpheus-adapter and the T-ring, if you use a fullframe DSLR; 30 mm are enough for APS-C. Use a T-2 quick-changer to align your camera horizontally or to remove it quickly from the eyepiece. REQUIRED PARTS: DSLR / system camera without lens T-Ring for camera bayonett (e.g. Protective DSLR T-Ring for Canon, #2958550) T-2-extension tubes as required, e.g.: 40mm: #1508153 | 15mm (pictured): #1508154 | 7.5mm: #1508155 Recommended: TQC/TCR quich changer (Bayonett + Ring) #2456322, length 15mm Morpheus®-adapter M43/T-2 #2958080 Morpheus® eyepiece AFOCAL PROJECTION with DSLR, video- and system-cameras Cameras with a fixed lens and a filter thread can also be combined with the Morpheus® eyepieces.

  • Get Close with Digiscoping
    ,ch08.28573 Page 272 Tuesday, April 13, 2004 2:16 PM HACK #94 Get Close with Digiscoping Figure 8-21. Ideal conditions for eliminating bars shot. This effect is more apparent with thicker, narrowly spaced bars than with wire-thin, widely spaced bars. You can compensate for this side effect during postprocessing in Photo- shop. Applying the Auto Levels command (Image ¨ Auto Levels) should brighten things right up. As mentioned earlier, you can use this technique with any camera that lets you control the aperture, but as a rule of thumb, SLRs (digital or film) tend to create a narrower depth of field than point-and-shoot digicams. This nar- row depth of field is what eliminates the bars. So this ability, along with the potential to choose a lens with wider aperture settings, gives the digital SLR a bit of an advantage here. And remember—although you can free them from their bars, please don’t feed the animals. —David Goldwasser H A C K Get Close with Digiscoping Hack #94 #94 Chances are, you already have the tools to get close to your subjects, even if they have little beaks and are perched way across the yard.

  • Digiscoping Tips & Tricks
    Digiscoping Tips & tricks ©Bill Schmoker (http://schmoker.org/BirdPics) ¸ (Good): Most birders can do this with the scope equipment they already have and a digital camera or camcorder. These are mostly technique issues to consider. ¸ (Better): Takes a little more effort but can be done with regular birding equipment or with minor, inexpensive changes to the set-up. ¸ (Best): Yields the best results, especially in challenging conditions, but could significantly add weight, complexity, and expense. Consider some of these strategies if you plan on spending at least some days doing more bird photography than birding!

Get Steady: The extreme magnification of digiscoping set-ups can be a two-edged sword-- while you can “reach out and touch” distant birds, any movement, vibration, and/or shake will be greatly magnified as well. This problem of “optical leverage” can be countered with some tripod-use strategies: ¸ (Good) Lower your tripod if possible. Try dropping the center post all of the way down. Consider partially or fully collapsing the legs. This is especially important in windy conditions. ¸ (Better) Spread your tripod legs to a wider position. This, along with collapsing the legs, can make a tripod much more steady, especially in the wind. - 1 - ¸ (Best) Get a heavier, sturdier tripod. Most birders use tripods rated for about 11 lbs, but getting a 22 lb+ rated tripod will provide a more solid platform.
