specialized CCD or CMOS camera.
Takahashi system charts show the adapters
and connections needed to attach a DSLR.
Standard adapters are generally available
for Nikon and Canon. These cameras
utilize the CA-35 and a DX-WR camera
ring for the specific camera. To attach
dedicated astrophotography cameras, some
specialized adapters are needed. Please
consult with your Takahashi dealer for
further details.
Enlarged Shooting
▼
When taking images of the moon’s craters
or the planets, the image scale available
when attaching a camera directly to
the telescope can often be too small.
To obtain higher magnification images,
a method known as eyepiece projection
may be useful. Eyepiece projection can
be accomplished using the TCA-4 (sold
separately). The TCA-4 will accept any
Takahashi 31.7mm(1¼”) eyepiece and has
a tube that can slide along the optical axis,
thereby giving the imager control of the size
of the final image.
Utilizing Filters
ی
Some FC-100DZ accessories enable
the user to attach filters to enhance
their viewing or imaging of astronomical
objects. However, filters come in many
different sizes, with different thicknesses,
so not all filters can be attached to all
accessories. When utilizing filters, there is
also the chance of ghosting due to internal
reflections. Some places where a filter can
be utilized include:
A 48mm filter can be attached to the DX-
•
WR camera mount. In this case, if filter
body thickness is to large, it may not
attach to the DX-WR camera mount.
A 48mm filter can be attached to a CA-35
