Right:
By Joni Babcock using a
Sony "Cybershot." Below Left: Telescope used was a TeleVue 76mm APO Refractor. Camera was a DMK series Monochrome 1280x960 imaging onto a Lap Top Computer, shielded by a folding paper shield. The mount was a Takahashi Teegul Equatorial Mount Configured into a lighter weight Alt-azimuth since tracking is not possible on a moving ship. The Carbon Fiber Tripod was collapsed to the lowest level for rigidity and stability. Sorbo-thane Pads absorbed ship vibrations. Carrying cases acted as a Computer Table and chair. |
