Is there a video camera that can be used with a telescope to display a real-time, high-quality image?
I have vision problems that make it hard for me to look through an eyepiece, but I can see images on a video monitor clearly. Eventually, I'd like to end up with something that uses eyepiece projection and is wireless, but to start I'd just like to identify possible video cameras. It would be best if the camera was at least as sensitive as the human eye. I plan to use it on my Meade ETX-90.
Bright light objects like moon, planets--any good video camera. Even a webcam like the 3Com Home Connect USB webcam (older model shaped like bar of soap, originally the Vicam) is best webcam for WinXP ever made.

A webcam to 1.25 adapter type 2 from Agenaastro can be screwed on in place of the webcam lens.

Supercircuits have some very sensitive (0.0001 lux!) TV cameras that are ultra-miniature, low power, standard B&W and some color ones too,
There are many bright object cameras, either for astronomy or for webcam use that can be used. Adiriondack Astronomy sells Stellacam and many others. Orion Telescope has some USB type cameras for solar system objects.
For faint stuff is the Rock Mallin custom Mallincam models or the Samsung SDC-435 or the A-2333. These are supersensitive ones for faint objects like star clusters, star clouds, galaxies for use with 80mm to 620mm diameter telescopes with the Agenaastro Blue Fireball C-mount to 1.25 inch adapter. You can make a remote control box from instructions at the Yahoo Group sdc435club.
For the true fanatic, there is the Collins I3 electronic eyepiece that is an image intensifier. It can be matched to a video camera. Expensive!
There have been guys taking a Gen3 image intensifier night scope and putting it behind a telescope for remarkable views and not much expense.
Go to www.nightskiesnetwork.com to see live video astronomy most USA evenings and some daytimes from amateur astronomers around the world (USA, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Europe).
Most of these cameras can be used with an eyepiece projection adapter from Orion Telescope. Either a male C-mount to female T-mount adapter or 1.25 inch tube is used.
Wireless video transmitting can be done with several 900mhz to 2.6ghz transmitter/receiver sets from X10 and several other companies for a moderate cost. You don't need the HD or HDMI fancy ones, as the source is SD.

Emphasis is on measurement and di... |
