EQUIPMENT:
Celestron C90 scope; Nikon Coolpix 4500; DigiMount Adapter
ISSUE:
I keep reading that macro made is the best to use for afocal photography of this sort. However, if I use the Nikon's Macro (flower icon) mode or the "Auto" mode (no icon) it photographs like it was in a dark room with no lights on even on a bright, sunny day.
Landscape (mountain icon) mode looks about right, if maybe a tad over-bright.
Otherwise I'm using the typical settings for this camera, such as these: http://www.digiscoped.com/DigiscopingTechnique.html (except that in Landscape mode the AF targeting blocks are not available...which seems moot shooting at the eyepiece anyway).
So am I doing something wrong when using Macro mode? Or is this just the nature of my particular setup now?
Should I change any of the settings based on what I've mentioned?
Thanks in advance.
