Not overly extreme here but just a question to toss out to all to see how everyone else is handing the issue of 'sun'...on the LCD.
I recently moved to a Nikon P310 for my digiscoping, up from a Canon S95 series...I have to say that the 'rapid fire' of that camera and taking 5 shots in a second is something sorely missed in Canons!
But the age old problem of attempting to fine tune focus using the LCD is still present. The sun, light etc...is just too much on the LCD to properly view to fine tune focus.
Do you remember years ago the Minox digiscoping camera (didn't work in practice) ...that was specifically created for digiscoping had a 'sheltered or covered' LCD viewer. While the camera was crap, the idea of providing some sort of shade over the LCD was there.
So we move on to jury-rigging now...Other than standing over and casting a shadow of sorts over your LCD, what does anyone else do? jim
Astronomer can use very high Focal lenghts for imaging the moon or planets ex: A Celestron C-14 telescope has a FL of 3910mm if seeing is very good we can use either a 3x or 5x barlow lens which will give us a focal lenght 11,730mm or 19,550mm. Some imagers in the past have gone well into the 25,000mm on the moon.
Welcome to the Group. The RX1 is a very good camera.Hi,Neil
I'm a digiscoping fans in Shanghai, China.
I've read all your post and learn much.You have done a lot of digiscoping.
Used many camaras to digiscoping with scopes.Very good experience.
I also owned lot of camaras and scopes.
Such as Swaro STX95,KOWA lens/scope,Swaro stm80hd,KOWA883,Fuji X100s,Sony nex7,nex6,Nikon D800,etc.And one of my new toys is Sony RX1(with evf).
I 'm very happy to join the birdforum and communicate with digiscoping fans here!
I post one of my extreme digiscoping to you.Cmara is Fuji X100S, scopes is KOWA lens/scope.
And you can see the best resolution of the scope and the camara combo
