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 stuff captured from sd card to pc.

also can attach cam as pc camera but only shows up as 320x240.

cam works best on it's own no need for pc.

Here some images of me modded digital video camera

Seems to be working i can with cam have that extra zooming into stuff and exposure /iso settings to play around with. be able to zoom into stuff on moon or what ever viewing.

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

Has quite big sensor on cam it's cmos then again look at all other cams lately been modded seem to be cmos rather than ccd.

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

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

check back couple days.

Modded power pack to battery compartment as it eats up batteries.

Probably watching this mod give you ideas to mod your small mini digital video camera's get taking them apart
