Lunt 152 and camera

Post by jimbob »

Hi
I am looking for some advice on a suitable camera for me and my needs.
I am looking for a camera that I can attach to the scope and then see the images on a laptop.
Not really a camera for taking pictures but more a 'visual' camera. My eyesight is getting bad to see at the eyepice direct.
Any thoughts or ideas for me?

Thanks
Jim

Jim:
I have used the "Revolution Imager R2" that is a live view ccd Video camera, it comes with a small monitor that you can mount at the telescope.
This is a nice approach so many can see the images at the monitor. www.revolutionimager.com/
Also you could use any of the ccd or cmos video cameras on the market, so to view the image in a laptop.
Regards,
Eric.
