eyalski

well, I spent some time out last nights and also used some borrowed eyepieces from friends to learn more what is the right thing for my needs. So without a doubt, the eyepieces I borrowed gave a nicer and clearer result than the original equipment. I used eyepieces of Meade Series 5000 Ultra Wide Angle 14mm and 5.5mm Eyepiece (1.25 ") UWA I also tried the Astromania 1.25 "8-24mm Zoom Eyepiece for Telescope with T-Thread And a USB camera angeleyes 500 So even though it's not the finest gear, shooting with an Astromania 1.25 "8-24mm Zoom eyepiece attached with a T thread to the DSLR body yielded beautiful moon images, but no more, images of Jupiter are already smeared even though its moons can be seen. The same goes for Saturn. , In the resulting photo it has the shape of a smeared egg. With angeleyes camera, the photography is better quality, and looks clearer on the computer screen, but even, in the end, there are no satisfactory results other than moon photography, here too, Jupiter and Saturn do not really look beautiful and clear. After all the attempts, one begins to conclude that the best results will be obtained from a digital eyepiece camera, perhaps ASI224MC ZWO ASI or something more advanced, but not sure it will be good for DSO observations. Here I'm actually enter a new area of observations like Galaxies, nebula and other DSO and I don't really know if my gear, skywatcher discovery 150P telescope on WiFi controlled mount, can do any better....

Thank you, I guess that the astro-camera will have higher quality pictures than the dslr, but is it magnifying the picture on the screen or then it's necessary to use also the tablet's digital zoom which will probably reduce the image quality, especially when it's on live-view. is more expensive gear will get better resolution and higher magnification?

Hi I'm using skywatcher discovery 150P telescope on WiFi controlled mount, dslr camera and a tablet as a screen for live-view. When we are out at night, instead watching through an eyepiece, I want to show my kids on the screen of a tablet or laptop the celestial objects like the moon or planets or hopefully DSO's, capture it to picture and then to magnify or improve the picture. How is it possible to transfer the view in relatively high quality from the eyepiece to the tablet? Tried using webcam in the the Barlow tube or eyepiece, tried using my dslr+T mount tube and view from it but it's not really satisfying, Jupiter or Saturn are too small and magnifying, blur the view. Can I use a higher quality eyepiece, attach it to my dslr via t-mount to get better results and magnification?. I saw some wifi astrocams like Zwo or SVBONY, but I can't find out if the results will be really better than my dslr, when viewing live on screen of a tablet without editing. appreciate your advice. thanks.
