Raspberry Pi Camera

[Walk69]

Morning folks

I thought i would have a go at setting up a raspberry pi camera system for my Nextsar 127 SLT, This is a first never had anything to do with Raspian before so on a rather slow learning curve. I have managed to install the operating system and enter a basic python script to control the camera. My issue now is I have 2 cameras which can be used, the original small unit (picam1.jpg), and a larger unit with infrared (picam2.jpg), the infrared units do come off easily. Any advice please on which would the better one to use, i am an extreme noob with the telescope and mainly looking at getting some shots of the moon or any planets within view. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Gary

Hi,

I do not have much idea about imaging with the RPi but I am sure there are others on SGL that can help.

I think there is also a lot on the internet to help. I found THIS that looks like they used the first camera you mentioned so it may help 🙂
