Hey Jenham. I am getting this camera and it’s comming with a nose piece adapter 1.25 inch. I was wondering if I could attach this with the nose piece adapter to my 9mm lense and see objects far in the sky like Jupiter. Would that work?
I don’t think so, the camera replaces the eyepiece, if you mean a 9mm EP. If you are referring to a fisheye lens then I have seen adapters to connect cameras like this.
Hello. The lens on the camera is the 2.1mm fish-eye lens which is supplied in the box with the camera. It also says "CCTV" on the side of the lens so I suppose the same lens is used on security cameras.
If you didn't receive the lens with the camera then you can find it at astro retailers online - just search "zwo 2.1mm 150 degree lens". It is inexpensive (about £20/$20)
Hi, yes it is possible to use the camera for DSOs, but it isn’t ideal. The noise level is evident with longer exposures. You can find some examples online to get an idea.
Hi Luke, the camera has a female T-thread, so M42×0.75. My standard 2" photo adapter, which normally screws into a T-ring, can instead by screwed into the camera. So, yes, as i have just discovered, it is possible!
I can't find the exact exposure settings, sorry, but I know the .AVI output file captured 395 frames. I then used PIPP. It discarded 30 frames which had errors and then sped the remaining up to 30fps making a 12s clip.
Great work
These are pretty decent cameras for the price. Had one couple years ago.
how did u attatch the camera to the tripod is there a mounting screww on the bck???
Andy Leather yes there is a female threaded hole on the camera.
thanks for info
right around 48 seconds of play

@@JenhamsAstro then what is the nose piece it comes with essentially for?
could this be used as a guide camera without a guidescope?
I don’t think so. You need the focal length of the guidescope to get a setup with the right image scale for guiding.
great work
Which Lens did you use in that Video ? Please

Jenham's Astro I've bought last year the ZWO ASI 120 . Where can i purchase the Lens you used on the Camera ? Please

Jenham's Astro thank You Heaps ... really appreciated
why is that white spot dancing around when the space station go's by it
I'm not sure, maybe some noise from the camera.
@@JenhamsAstro ahh I was hoping it'd be something more exciting
Can you use this setup to do deepsky capture too?

How do you deal with dew?
I have not used this setup on a damp night, and it would be tricky to wrap the lens in a dew heater strip.
Which software did you use?
Hi i normally use SharpCap or FireCapture with this camera.
Hi Jenham, is it possible to attach a 2" adapter into the camera?
Hi Luke, the camera has a female T-thread, so M42×0.75. My standard 2" photo adapter, which normally screws into a T-ring, can instead by screwed into the camera. So, yes, as i have just discovered, it is possible!
Great, Thanks alot.
luke The camera actually fits right into a 2” focuser by design.
Thanks Mike, tried it and it works. Question: Have you tried to do DSO with this camera?
What capture settings did you use?
I can't find the exact exposure settings, sorry, but I know the .AVI output file captured 395 frames. I then used PIPP. It discarded 30 frames which had errors and then sped the remaining up to 30fps making a 12s clip.
