Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Celestron 93626 Universal Camera Adapter for Digital Photography by Kev Mills

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Vignetting when using high magnification eyepieces and/or wide-angle cameras

If your eyepiece is smaller than your camera lens, you will experience vignetting. Also, I can't take pictures with the 4mm eyepiece. Despite my complaints, I don't see a better choice for my setup. Of course I get better results with a longer telescope with a 32mm eyepiece and 3x Barlow. My setup: - Telescope Celestron 21024 FirstScope (76mm). - Eyepieces 32mm and 17mm. - 2x Barlow. - Casio EX-FH100 10.1MP high. Speed digital camera with 10x ultra wide-angle zoom. Tips: - First find a point in the sky or in the field with a telescope - Attach the adapter (vice versa when using a reflecting telescope) - Position the camera - Use a low magnification. and wide eyepieces. - Use 2x or 3x Barlow (or a combination of both). - Extend the zoom to infinity (flash off). - Point the camera as close as possible to the eyepiece (without touching it). - Use the camera's timers.

Pros
  • Compatible with most point-and-shoot digital cameras with a tripod mount
Cons
  • Some minor things
