    Canon SX60HS in Action

    Using it for 24 hours... ...first thing to notice is that it has a lot going on. When you press the button the camera keep going a bit foward and backward with the focus, while trying to stabilize the image and there a ton of other things going on like noise reductions, red lines around the...

    Canon SX60HS in Action

    Is it possible that the converter crop the cherry middle part of the tiny sensor? Just like the apsc sensor correct the border lenses problems... that would explain the tele good results.

    Canon SX60HS in Action

    I ordered my sx60... not in my hands yet. May I just throw something that crossed my mind here... considering how bad the camera went here http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/10/25/best-superzoom-2014-8-competitors-2.5-clear-winners + the fact that it actually did well at de 21mm +...

    SX30 - Regal+t3 - C90+t3

    But in the last pic I was using it on the c90.... 1250 focal length. 1250 /8 = 156x 156 x 55(eye) = 8500 And I dont know if I should add the 1.6 crop factor of the sensor above that.... I will try to make a movie in english as soon as I can. But again... the system is not for birding, it is...

    Celestron Regal Ghost Images

    That is exactly what happens to mine. But to be honest, for me it is not a big deal. The ghost image appears when my eyes are not well positioned. Sure it will be a problem if you deal with fast-moving targets... but then every eyepiece can also be a problem. I will try to test tomorrow other...

    Stargazing Binoculars advice

    Just my two cents... I use bino+telescope too... and about the 7x50, it is great. But without tripod it really really make your arms weary ... in minutes. Seriously it is uncomfortable to use it hand held. I really think you should reconsider it. I, myself, I always take one of those "beach...

    Which One plz?

    Sure there is a world of optical difference. Still it is nice to have more manufactures working on 50mm. The ED50 is pretty much isolated there, people use to work from 60mm and up... and some of them, like my regal 65 weights like a 80mm... it would be nice to have 50mm option from all price...

    Which One plz?

    Now that you mention, anyone noticed how the yukon 50mm looks just like the ED50?! Sure it is not ED and etc...

    did I do ok

    I actually use that exactly head... and it is nice. It has the friction and all. Work fine for small Scopes and DSLR. I just sometimes have a bit of problem to follow things at the night. But for all the rest it is great, actually(for me, I guess)

    Optics question

    Possibly they are there but just not shining enough because of the low exit pupil of the ED50, compared to the binos. Sometimes also the moons are not aligned well for seeing. But again, most likely it is the exit pupil... as you can see, sometimes wee need more aperture and less...

    Anyone tested this?

    I hate to tease people without any information at all. But honestly, since I live overseas I can´t really test most of the things myself... so... Did anyone tried this already? http://www.opticsplanet.net/opmod-20-60x60mm-spotting-scope-w-tripod.html Seems cheap, it is designed by no-brand...

    Celestron Regal Issues....

    Mine too! Depending on the angle it gives me a non-reversed image of somewhere. I am trying to map exactly from where this image comes... if you unscrew the eyeguard it is easier to find the angle. But really that only happens if I deliberately look for it. Otherwise, the entire range of the...

    Colors

    My pentax ucf bin has a very very noticeable warm bias. You know when in the cameras we hit the "custom white" button for it to get the right balance... heh these pentax ucf bins should come with a custom white buttom too =P Because every white look yellow through them.

    Celestron Regal Issues....

    Look if you really are experiencing shift in the image by just focusing. Be careful because if anything is going on with the mirror-prism that might reduce the life-span of your scope a lot. Even if the image is ok now. If possible, I would definitely check this out before keeping it.

    Celestron Regal Issues....

    My focus knob works fine... and is actually smooth. What is a bit of an inconvenient in my sample is the collar that hold the eyepiece that is actually is a bit tight. I need to push and pull with a bit of strength the eyepiece in and out. I also never felt any shift on the image at all...

    Hyperion Zoom and Pentax and/or Regal

    I have a regal... if you have any simple question you want me to answer or test for you... (but I don´t have others eyepieces) One thing that I am exactly in trouble right now is that most likelly I will need to buy the Pentax DSLR adapter to use in the regal, and then another ring to adapt the...

    Canon vs Nikon

    They did not patented the mirrorless design.. for obvious reasons. Sony patented the prism that stays fixed throwing 10% light up... letting 90% light through the sensor. What is great because you remove the mechanical hindrance(mirror going up and down)... To sum up. Fixed prism...12 fps in...

    Canon vs Nikon

    Just to add in the mess up. Sony patented something that is as obvious as the wheel. Remove the moving mirror = best body. I use canons... but if I could I would swap to Sony A series with their fixed prism.

    Regal + DSLR

    So... in your opinion the only viable option would be the pentax adapter(no lenses) direct in the regal body? It says f12.5 on the pentax scopes... the regal have a bit more travel inside... it will be a bit more, mag around 25x... Since the adapter rings from adorama are inexpensive I ll...

    Regal + DSLR

    No. We are talking here about a boby+ 50mm lenses + eyepiece + regal body. If the eyepiece is set in 30x... that is a 1650 equivalent already.
  25. I

    Regal + DSLR

    But that was exactly my plan. The 50mm 1.8 weight nothing... the body also weight less than 500g. The lenses costs less than $100... I thought it was the perfect setup to try that.
