Thought i'd mod me mini video camera

Traveler DV-3010

For information on cam

Travelar DV 3010 information

Thought id do this mod create somet that could just pop on end of telescope take some quick images or video for possibly moon imaging sometime without need of computer

unless want to put images from sd card to pc.

also if wanted to can attach cam as pc camera.

Here some images of me modded digital video camera

Seems to be working i can with cam have extra zooming into stuff and exposure /iso settings to play around with.

Simple job take out the original lens any ir filters and attach some tubing to fit telescope.

Has quite big sensor on cam

This similar mod could be used with other make digital camera's

will test and put some images here if take any astro imaging of moon sometime.

check back couple days.
