Skywatcher Camera Adapter and Dual-Led Torch

[michigander]

Got these from FLO and tried them out at the Salisbury Sar Party.

The Camera Adapter was a bit fiddley, but after playing around for an hour or so I managed to make a pretty good movie of Jupiter. Couldn't take any stills because I don't have a remote shutter, so everything goes wobbly when I try to take a picture.

The only problem I had with the LED torch was that the strap was so long I kept getting it wrapped around the camera adapter and the finder. This was solved when Michigoose pointed out the the strap was designed to go around my neck, not my wrist! (What would I do without her?)

Dana,

You could have used the self timer function on your camera. set the delay a bit longer than the time the mount needs to settle and Bob's your uncle
