settings

Hi 

New to this imaging malarky 

Have only  a bridge camera , but have bought a mount that sits around eyepiece and aligns lens with camera .

My q was what settings should i have my camera set at (Speed/aperture etc )

I got some half decent moon pics last night ( still alot of work to do !!) but only on 25x eyepiece , could get nothing on 10x 

Many thanks 

Dave

i thought this was an easy question

For the moon try about 320th second with whatever aperture shows a decent image... Manual if you can

Just try experimenting ... That's the beauty of digital !

I'm assuming you were using a 25mm and a 10mm eyepiece. The 10mm will give you higher magnification and if you don't have your target centered properly, it will be out of the field of view. Center the target as close to the middle of the 25mm and then switch out to the 10mm. Might be off to the edge of the EP but you can readjust the scope from there.

Apologies Knobby  just realised my mistake on name

Moon  is not fussy, it's a daylight object if it fills the eyepiece, you can almost use auto and bias it to under expose.

with the 10mm eyepiece it will be much harder to get the camera in the correct postion over the eyepiece.
