RE: A small fisherman's hut - Eine kleine Fischerhütte
I thought that I had got a few nice shots of the Milky Way but no such luck. I did get some nice images of Cassiopeia. It's been so cloudy and the Moon is still full but the images I am getting are slowly improving.
Zoom in to see the details.
The moon can be very bright even when it’s size is just a small part. Another thing is that it don’t will be totally dark in summer. But the good news, it will be darker and darker in the next weeks 😊
Btw. the stars are really good in the center, in the corners there is the normal distortion. Maybe you can decrease the exposure time by 2 or 5 seconds and compare how the stars will look like then.
Next time we have a clear sky I'll try the 2 -5 second reduction in exposure time.
I have had an idea to make a telescope from an old pair of binoculars I have. It was my sons suggestion. It might just work? :-)
That's a good question. I think it depends on how you can modify the case to get into focus. You also have to think about how the focusing itself will be solved. Another point is the quality of the lenses and their size. All in all, it will probably be a pretty big craft project and probably a bit more expensive than a finished telescope.
But it also depends on what you want or what kind of binoculars you have.
