Does this software work with a D5200 in Live-View mode? I want to use it for astronomy at night.

I would be cautious on the software, and check specifically with Nikon. Nikon's specs for it are out of date, so you will need to ask them. I have been unable to get it to even recognise my camera, a D610, despite Nikon saying it will work, but I suspect my computer is too new. Be specific on both your camera, and the operating system, including whether it is 32 or 64 bits. I have Canon colour lasers that are only 5 years old, but will not work with my laptops.

I never used it for stargazing- a full moon was incredible- but my iPhone adapter for taking pictures doesn't work on it-

Yes, it has good capability to capture photo at night during video capture simultaniously. I was in a indoor function, my battery was down for my still camera. i took photo using this. it was good. But dont expect like a SLR one.

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

Yes it will work with the d5200 you will need a receiver. I recommend qstar bq1000xt.very accurate except like all GPS receivers when your close to a building the recorded point can be thrown off. The only other down fall and it is more to do with the d5200 other than the adapter is when it is connected to the camera you can't swivel the view screen.

This camera doesn't have nightshot. It was a listing error, I know for a fact it isn't supported.

Robin S: I don't use this camera anymore. It was very hard to set up for me, and it has terrible software with it. I have some friends that have different cameras that actually work. My advise is to look at a different camera. You get what you pay for. Did I mention that it is huge and a monstrosity.

I actually bought it for something else. Do you want to have remote live view and trigger from your DSLR ? If you do send another question and I will send some details so you can have something like CamRanger but at around 40 instead of 250. Hope that helps. Phil

I am told by my experienced mentor that it is. I've only imaged with it once with the moon and had to turn the gain almost off so it didn't white out the screen. It was a lot more sensitive than my cell phone camera and my large digital camera that is not dslr. It is more sensitive tha. I imagined something I could afford would be. The customer service from High Point was so good they were willing to still take it back into the 2nd month if I could not get it to work because I tried ad tried with Linux and weather was very cold. Once I put Windows on my laptop it worked right away.

I use a Canon 7D. This will work using the "B" (bulb) setting. I've used it for moon shots and infrared exposures - all 10 to 20 second exposures.

I have found that it produces acceptable images in fairly low light. I don't try to take pictures in almost total darkness so I have no experience there. Under a full moon it took acceptable pictures of animals in my yard. HTH

I can't answer your question, but I can add that I tried the Celestron against this model and returned the Celestron. The Celestron had some difficulty stabilizing the image. Also, the software bundled with the AM Scope camera is pretty good.

Yes, it will work just fine in manual mode with D5200 Nikon's, with a full frame, uncropped image. The exposure works perfectly if you set it up for Auto ISO....Otherwise it is a manual focus/exposure lens. I'm told with full frame/sensor Nikon's (D800/600, etc) it has a circular fisheye effect.

I am taking astrophotographs with this telescope using a Canon EOS REBEl 2Ti coupled to the eyepiece focus. I was able to adjust the balancing of the telescope of the telescope with the camera attached. I so far only taken pictures of the moon because I am in a light polluted area. I am waiting to take the telescope to a dark sky area so a can try photographing deep sky objects. I posted one of my best photographs of the moon on my facebook page if you like to see what the Powerseeker can do.

The resolution is not perfect, a illumine is not stable. But you can use eyepiece as well. Do not recomend this product to my friends.

The teleconverter will work with a D5200, but you may have some issues with the autofocus.

Yeah you can attach a nikon DSLR but you'll need a nikon adaptor/attachment. But it's not worth it, because you need to make long exposure as the telescope i believe is a F16. If you want to go for astrophotography, go for a motorised telescope.
