Well, this isn't really a telescope designed for astro-photography. A Dobsonian telescope "twists" during long exposures. You can take short exposures, or use a modified webcam and "stack" exposures. For the best astro-photograpy you need an equatorially mounted telescope.

Canon s95 has the best image quality of all cameras mentioned above (CCD sensor).If you want better video mode than you have to go with CMOS sensor cameras (sx230, 300HS).The s95 and sx230 have full manual controls.

Agree with the Powertank. Using regular batteries won't give you an accurate goto. The other accessories you will need are eyepieces. Consider getting one in the 9-11mm range and go from there.

Working fine for me as a real-time streetcam on a Core2 Quad with 8 GB and Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The camera does use a lot of CPU time (20-35% on the quad-core box) at its max resolution 1280x720 mode. CPU use drops significantly at lower resolutions. Nevertheless, it's my favorite USB camera out of an assortment of models I've used. It's by far the best at handling dawn to dusk outside light levels and is even (barely) useful at night with the illumination of a single street light that's about 120 feet away.

First off, the Celestron PowerSeeker 50 is a telescope with only one set of optics, not a set of binoculars with two. Just to clear up any confusion. The Orion StarShoot Eyepiece camera will fit on the PowerSeeker 50 by unscrewing the outer 1.25" barrel of the camera from the .96" barrel inside and mounting it into the telescope's focuser without the star diagonal in place. Keep in mind that the PowerSeeker 50 telescope is not really meant for astrophotography and your results will reflect that.

DashCamTalk.com lists Blueskysea/BAIKLOV/SpyTec as preferred sellers. Whereever you buy from make sure you get a camera with the Novatek 96650 chipset. Some cameras that look like this one use a lower end Novatek 96620 chipset. It is easy to miss and the 20 is junk. Also be aware different colors from the same seller can have different firmware versions so you may want to ask ahead of time. Check B00JTOBZJI and B00JJ3SQRI

I haven't tried any of the HD cams on this telescope but you have couple of choices that might work. They'll work with a laptop but how would these connect to a tablet.You can find them here on Amazon for cheaper than listed price below.1. Orion StarShoot USB Eyepiece Camera II (Black) $59.992. Celestron NexImage 5 MP $199.993. Orion 52175 StarShoot Solar System Color Imaging Camera IV $99.99The other option is to mount your existing camera on the telescope with Celestron 93626 Universal Digital Camera Adapter.

What Jack said; you can get adapters and tripods from Orion themselves, or try a standard camera tripod that you may already have.

I would go to their site and look at the list of supported cameras. I got the Rebel T3 because all the others were VERY expensive.

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.

I went with this model only because my receiver was pioneer.If you"re going "wired",I would think any camera would work. Price was not an issue for me at the time.Just compare resolution and quality.

Radioshack has CG10 for $129 right now. I don't think any other small form factor cameras can match the feature/price it offers even Flips, Kodaks.

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 forTech Support. The number is (800) 676-1343. Hope you're able to get an answer to your question.Cordially, Joe Romaninsky

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