Meade Telescope Camera Adapter For Nikon Coolpix 950 Nikon D50 For Astrophotography?

Nikon D50 for Astrophotography? - meade telescope camera adapter for nikon coolpix 950

I am always interested in astro-photography as a hobby, I have a Nikon D50 digital SLR camera and a Meade 8800 with a camera and the T-mount adapter for my camera has various configurations, which is best for astro-Photgraphy 100% manually or a combination of automatic and manual configuration? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah, okay. I know, another question, said that the filter wavelengths of interest: it is ignored. This refers to the IR, which usually do not want in your pictures anyway. When using chromatic aberration, Newton, and is therefore less a question that does not bite, even if you use the eyepiece to increase or lose a focal reducer to. The components of high-quality optics are designed to reduce chromatic aberration in the visible wavelength range, and completely ignore the infrared. Nikon has quite a following in the community of astrophotography.

As for the settings, yes, all the manuals. Use a low ISO setting and the remote control if you have one (the vibration during opening and closing the aperture reduced). For longer exposures you want a light bulbFashion, but the camera has a mode that is not a problem.

Pictures of his departure in RAW format. JPEG compression is good for the pictures of everyday objects, but bad for astrophotography, but many details are weak by nature and is not intended to handle JPEG.

Astro finally a specialist and complex area, but. You really need to read guidelines on the subject of a detailed treatment of this subject is not appropriate here.

Go all the manual exposure and long term. The problem with Nikon cameras (I have a D50), it is not to capture distant objects like galaxies (Andromeda, good, etc.), or fog. Canon cameras are. Nikon has a filter to wavelengths that you remove deep-sky astrophotography. Additionally, you can always have the right mounts for the camera and telescope, and practice only. You want a large aperture and shutter speed very slow. Unfortunately, the D50 does not have a cable release for the shutter, only a fool infrared remote control. I suggest you make the IR remote control as a simple vibration of the shutter closes, thanks to your photography or touch the trigger. I think the IR remote works by being pressed, the shutter remains (such as H open
