Repurposing

This past spring I finally took the plunge and purchased a video camera designed for planetary imaging. I had tried a security camera over ten years ago with mixed results - the set up (eyepiece projection holding the camera in position with an adapter) was tedious to be kind. The result was predictable - I rarely had the enthusiasm to do the set up.

My initial experimentation this summer with the ImagingSource's DFK 21AU04S camera have been encouraging and I am excited to open this new chapter in my amateur astronomy. While I may end up coding a web page in our family web site for displaying my images I think I want to leverage the blog here as an easy way to publish some of these results.
