Does this telescope takes pictures?

I've never done it, but I'm not sure. I'd bet that you could though with the right equipment.

No. Image has to be captured. But I had good success at downloading images quickly. Like the Orion Nebula only required 30 secs for good image. While other images like weak galaxies take 5 mins to 10 mins. For a entry level Ccd camera, it's very good. I still use mine even through I have an qhy10c. Which cost 2300.00. It's not a video cam but a true mid level deep space camera it has only neg 10 degree C. Cooling which isn't the greatest but for the price is good.

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

NO just the telescope, i have bought another table equatorial mount telescope

It does. But after having it for a year i wouldnt recommend it. The optics arent very good and all my vacation pictures last year in LA were fuzzy. Its my third cybershot but the worst ive owned.

it probably does, but I wouldn't get this camera anyway....the picture quality is very poor. I only bought it because my client only has satellite internet so the quality didn't have to be good. You'll be happier spending a dew extra dollars on a higher quality camera.

It should work with your telescope. I have a 70mm refractor telescope and have used the celestron digital camera adapter with it to take photos of the moon with a point and shoot digital camera.

No, it doesn't telescope. It is light and well balanced and EXTREMELY sharp.

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.

Alejandro, Yes you can take pictures with some limitations. I have take marvelous pictures, but you need to sue a DSLR and you will have to purchase, from Celestron, a T-ring (part #93419) for $10.36 and the T-Adapter for $21.95. You thread these two items together and connect one end to your camer and the other end threads onto your telescope after you take the visual back off of the scope. You can easily photograph the Moon, I suggest that you take pictures of a partial moon. Run some tests and try different exposures. If you can afford a solar filter from Orion, you can take pictures of the Sun. Taking pictures of deep sky objects is difficult with an Alt-Azimuth mount, like the NexStar, but you should be able to get pcitures of Venus, Jupiter, the Pleiades and a few others, as long as you can shoot with a very high ISO. I hope this helps. One other thing that is very vlauable to purchase is the Celestron focal reducer, it will allow more light and widen your angle of view. Do some research on Prime focus photography with the NexStar 6.

do not believe it does. It does take individual photos but they are manually taken one at a time.

This camera does not mount to an Eyepiece.... It replaces the eyepiece for direct imaging...

You have to focus using the telescope. From the time you mount it the camera can only adjust ISO, the rest is fully manual.

This is a basic telescope. There is no place to connect a laptop. Digital cameras and 35mm cameras can however be mounted with optional Celestron adaptor accessories.

The correct answer should be "Well, Maybe Yes***, kind-a / sort-a". Attempting to use this with an astronomical telescope will present plenty of "challenges". 1. Getting the imager congruent with the image plane. The camera comes with a 30mm OD adaptor, which should fit a 1-1/4" eyepiece holder. 2. The f/speed of the system, and imaging speed of the device, may limit what you can capture with this system. Since this is made for microscopes, the lighting in usually adjustable by the user. But for astrophotography, you might be able to capture the moon, and larger / brighter planets may be within reach of a moderate size (8"+) objective. However as there is little or no real integration time, stars and nebulae are unlikely targets. 3. Resolution may disappoint you. This device only records 2 megapixels. That may seem like a lot, but I'm used to more. Also dynamic range is in question here. Ultimately, it depends on your needs, expectations, pocket book, and willingness to make it work in an application it wasn't designed for. But if you think you are up to the challenges, go for it!

No, it's a pretty easy telescope to use. I am hopeless, but our son was 12 when we got it and knew how to use it. I felt it was a great value for the money.

No, this telescope is for astronomy purposes only. If you wish to do land viewing, get a pair of binoculars, or some smaller refractor telescopes can be equipped for land viewing. This telescope flips the images upside down, as is normal for telescopes. I have looked at airplanes with this telescope, but they zoom across the screen faster than I can manually track it.
