markclaire50 started following Best imaging camera for Saturn
-
Hi. I've been looking at astrobin. Best resolution of Saturn's rings with a C9.25 was using asi zwo 174 imaging camera. But reviews I've read say the 224 is THE best camera for planets. I see a £400 cost difference, with the 224 much cheaper. Do what's going on? Which camera would you recommend for saturn?

Easiest, hardest, cheapest, most expensive

Thanks. I will probably get one that's a bit cheaper. It's got me thinking though as I have several camera lenses as well as my ed80 -

Hi Knight. Thanks. I'm curious, how do you connect the 1600mm cool camera to a camera lens? Adapter? If so, I didn't realise you could do that. -
Please list one example of these with respect to type of object being imaged, equipment needed, skill/experience needed and approximate cost. Thank you Mark

So, does that mean you can see three shallow indentations in the lawn? If so, I'm thinking of some 'grasslike' material I could put into them just for appearances which I could remove when needed. Camouflage basically! -

Do you put the grass back over the saucers? I'm thinking of my wife's reaction. -

Thank you. I was wondering about the size of the flowerpot bases.were they placed upside down and covered with grass. I'm just trying to visualise exactly how it would look. Thanks Mark -
Thanks for the interesting report John. I Suspect 10x50 has the aperture to resolve rigel b, but not the magnification to actually see it separately from Rigel.

Hi. I know this thread is quite old, but can you explain a bit more about the flower pot bases and what they are doing? Thanks Mark -
Mmm. I will have to look through my finder more carefully. I will try my baader zoom from 25x onwards to find minimum mag that I can see the split in my 80mm ed.

So 10x50 might be a tad awkward. ??
