astrophotography backfocus 3d models

I'm thrilled with the outcome of my astrophotography experiment: capturing an image of Jupiter along with four of its moons using my DIY telescope mount. The picture quality is still a work in progress, but it's significantly better than what I was...

The interlocking part was copied from the telescope's cover lid - it is easy to use, the filter stays on reasonably well (doesn't come off by itself), but still not reliable enough to make it safe for eye observations of the Sun - only for...

The idea is to attach a camera on top and accurately orient it for piggy-back astrophotography on a telescope or mount. It only requires an additional metal screw to attach the middle part on the bottom base, preventing the camera from falling. The...

My use case is to attach a green laser to a camera to aid in pointing the camera for astrophotography, but you may find other photography applications for it. My laser pointer has a protruding button. The mount features an extra lip that can be...

Align your telescope accurately for astrophotography even if your current laser collimator has a bore-sight error. This 1.25" to 2" adapter has adjustments to correct imperfect laser collimators. This is made for new astrophotographers who already...

Having done some DSO astrophotography work at night obviously, the next issue I ran into was how to polar align in the daytime. I just did not want to do it at night and leave everything out all night. I saw a few people on the net were strapping...

An Automatic ASCOM Compliant Electronic Focuser for Telescope Astrophotography. This box is designed to fit one Nema 17 stepper motor, along with the electrical components for an electric focuser. The top portion fits a standard 50mm x 70mm...

Tracking gear for astrophotography. Works well with short focal lengths. Compatible with most common tripods. It was a test of FDM printer capabilities... **Note: I've reached more softness, building simplicity and small weight in this project.** ...

When I started college last year, I decided to create a telescope adapter for astrophotography. Unfortunately, I forgot what size telescope I used and what diameter eyepiece the adapter fits on. The telescope adapter comes in two pieces, just like...

Barn-door type astrophotography tracker without the need for bending screws. Travel-friendly, easy to pack and can be driven by any 5V USB power source. An Arduino Uno or Nano is used to control speed of the screw to maintain constant angular...

In astrophotography or macro photography it is essential to focus as precise as possible. By turning the focus ring on DSLR lenses by hand, it is quite difficult to lock down on the best focus possible (most likely you will be able to turn the focus...

I designed two adapters for our Panasonic Lumix G2 camera so that we could experiment with astrophotography. The shorter adapter is black and thick, allowing us to mount the camera directly onto the telescope, while the longer one is blue and can be...

This device securely holds an iPad against the lens of a 4-inch refractor telescope to capture flat field images in astrophotography. Astrophotographers combine three types of pictures: Lights (actual night sky images), Darks (noise created by long...

If you plan to use the equatorial drive for astrophotography, a motor that takes 0.9 degrees per step is recommended - don't expect high-magnification images, though. Using the bracket on the declination axis requires some adjustments: simply...

... Since my primary purpose is for astrophotography, I wanted something that I didn't have to worry about popping open in the middle of an imaging session. I used M3x25 screws to secure the case together.</p> <p>The fan is a Noctua 40mm (NF-A4-x10).

The goal is to build a basic, simple, easy-to-transport EQ mount that can be suitable for light telescopes and some astrophotography.  # What You Need...

It travels easily, so I bought it directly from the manufacturer at https://www.ellumiglow.com/electroluminescence/el-panels/astrophotography-5in-circle-kit. The enclosure protects the panel, and the entire assembly adds negligible weight to the...

+ https://www.instructables.com/id/Astrophotography-With-the-Raspberry-Pi-Zero/ I've hacked the rPi telescope camera: + upgraded to rPi Zero W so it is its own access point + upgraded rPi camera to an ArduCam with upgradeable lens + upgraded the...

It creates nice star spikes for astrophotography as if the secondary mirror would be held with arms like in a newton or RC telescope (or Hubble Space Telescope ;)). It is not made for visual observations. It is designed for my C8 from 1992 (black...

I have a small refractor telescope with a rotating focuser and I found when using my OSC camera for astrophotography that it was hard to properly frame my shots based on the plans I created using telescopius and also re-aligning my shots from session...

Just keep in mind it lacks sufficient precision for stargazing, so forget about attempting to use it for astrophotography. --- Instructions: I've created an exhaustive tutorial on how this thing works, thanks to Google SketchUp's...

... bump over the SD card. I use this adaptor:https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XLAZODEI've also included a cradle for the case to allow it to be attached to a 1.5" telescope tripod leg, as this was primarily designed to run my astrophotography rig.

Typically when capturing astrophotography images, a series of "flat" calibration images will be taken. Flats are used to capture images of any dust, vignetting, or other imperfections that exist within the imaging train of the telescope. These flat...

NOTE: This project has been replaced by "Tommy's Star Tracker" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4839602 A 3D printed star tracker mount for visual astronomy and astrophotography! This design is based on SimonRob's Equatorial Mount for DSLRs...

Polar Wedge with linear gearboxThis is a little but solid polar wedge for astrophotography.I designed 2 versions of the Base, one with a 1/4" hole to mount it on a arca-swiss plate and one with a Arca-Swiss Base but the Arca-Swiss Base is much more...

USB shutter control cable for DSLR (Canon, Pentax, Sony, Nikon) Using RTS-on-COM shutter driver in some Astrophotography software: [DSLR Shutter](http://www.stark-labs.com/downloads.html), [APT](https://www.ideiki.com/astro/Default.aspx),...

The goal is to build a basic, simple, easy to transport EQ mount that can be suitable for a light telescope and for some astrophotography. What you need (Part list): My travel EQ mount is composed of: - 2x NEMA17 motors (mine 400 steps, 47mm...

My goal was to mount a Red Dot Finder (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CGH99X5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on the hotshoe of my camera for use in my astrophotography hobby. I found the "Hotshoe finder mount" model,...

... often requires shooting during dawn or dusk when the light is soft and golden. By following this guide, you'll be well on your way to capturing stunning planet images with your Canon G7X camera and telescope setup. Happy astrophotography!
