Does this camera provide real time video while attached to the telescope?

If you provide images in real time, you should check if the focal length of your telescope adpta the sensor to pick up the picture well. If you would need nnot possible focal reducer. Look closely at the characteristics of your telescope and compare them with the camera thus'll come to a conclusion. Best Regards.

Yes it does. For still pictures, you can record this video and process it to overlap individual frames and make a sharper image. If you just want to display the view through the telescope onto a computer screen, this works great for the sun, moon, and to a lesser extent the planets.

I'm probably not a good person to ask because I can't seem to even get so much as a still image out of this thing.

Yes. Using it with ipcamviewer and tinycam monitor. But to view motion events you have to use hikvisions android app which works surprisingly well.

Hello, good camera if you have a large telescope. on small optics you have a lot of noise from the CMOS. H.S.

Yes, there is a screen that plays so you can see what you are recording in real time.

Hi Steven, Wish I could be more helpful, but I have never tried to use a camera with a telescope. I suggest you call Orion and ask for Tech Support. The number is (800) 676-1343. Hope you're able to get an answer to your question. Cordially, Joe Romaninsky

I don't believe so. The camera has only one output- the USB thumb drive. Any real time capture from that would likely cost many times the value of the camera.

Sorry man, your thinking of live video feeds, this camera is not able to do that. I wish it did but all it does is capture and do playbacks.

Nope. All it needs is a power supply (comes with it, plug-in 12v transformer!) and typical connectors/wire to a monitor and it'll give a constant, live feed. Low def, but a constant feed. (Also, the camera is really small, incredible for the price. It can be hidden most anywhere and adapted for use in many locations including J-box, under-counter/roofline, ceiling, toys, etc.)

I am sure you can attach a HD web cam. Personally, I held the flip HD video recorder by hand and then posted the video on youtube. But you will have to be careful, because of the magnification even a small handshake causes a lot of effect on the video. Ideally you can purchase the celestron camera attachment unit which can hold camera's not sure about a web cam. However one issue I had with the camera mount unit is that it was heavy enough to tilt the telescope. You will need to adjust your balance weights.

Yes a security camera with a 1.25 c mount adapter can and slow exposures can show lots of deep space video. There are several USB video cameras that can also be used but they tend to only be good for planetary viewing. On Google look up "Samsung scb-2000" and Astro-video those two topics should really get you going. I do Astro-video for the public at star parties.

Yes you can use the gps, while a video is being recorded in the background.

No. You have to position and manually move it urself. But it does capture a good amount of footage when placed in a good spot.

Yes, it can record when there is motion. The preferable way to do this is through third party software. Blue Iris for PCs and Evocam for Macs are video security programs designed to do this and more. They provide a better interface to your camera(s) than using the onboard software and a web browser. They will write the video where ever you wish including dropbox.

I'm sorry, I don't know. What do know is that in the past I have tried a couple of adapters to attach cameras to telescopes and found both totally unsatisfactory. Sorry, I can't be brand-specific - it's been quite a while.

I think as long as you have a strong tripod it should be fine to use with a telescope, I use it with my Professional camcorder with no problem.

It provides real time video out via an optional composite video out cable. You will need to provide your own FPV transmitter, receiver, and display in order to view the video.
