# Heterotopia, or heterotropia?
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 4 Mar 2012, 15:31, archived)
# Heterotropia.
*Googles 'heterotopia'* huh, seems to be the same thing, but with any organ or muscle.

# i hate to go all RPS here, but I was happy with this --
taken with a point-and-shoot (Canon elph300hs) and a pair of binoculars

# That is a very nice result for that
especially how you managed to convince it not to over expose
(I helped save b3ta! mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Sun 4 Mar 2012, 15:34, archived)
# i also use a open-sourced firmware hack called CHDK
It allows manual override of all exposure settings and reconnects the ability to shoot in RAW. Even the cheapest Canon camera have the physical ability for advanced features, but Canon engineers 'disconnect' those abilities in the firmware

# Oh yeah, I've heard of that
but haven't felt the need (nor the nerve) to use it myself
(I helped save b3ta! mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Sun 4 Mar 2012, 15:50, archived)
# the nerve thing is not an issue, it does not write anyting to the factory firmware.
a few button presses cause the program to load from the SD card when you want to use it. Turning the camera off and on totally exits the program

# i had more trouble with the chromatic abberations introduced by the binocular lenses
i filtered them out pretty much for this post.

# I can imagine
Lightroom does some neat CA corrections

# well, one of these days (sometime in the next 20 years or so)
I will be able to afford a proper DSLR with good lenses and all.

# Until such a time, binoculars seem to work okay
(I helped save b3ta! mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Sun 4 Mar 2012, 16:06, archived)
# indeed they do. Just by luck the folding rubber eyecup on the binoculars grip the circumference of the lens barrel on the camera just right
I just started playing around with the setup. I might even invest in a cheap telescope and build a lens collar.

I used to own a couple of decent telescopes, but a basement flood ruined them :(

# Bah!

About the lens fitting the binoculars, you're in luck. you see, with a DSLR, it would never fit quite so well.

# you know, you're right!
photography is one of those hobbies where ingenuity can save a lot of money.

# Very nice Peds
Jupiter and Venus are converging later this month I believe. You should go for a nice shot of them together.

# i saw them, Venus and Mars were alright last night ;)
They also seem to be extremely close to Earth right now (the planet I currently reside on)

EDIT:: oops, I asumed that was Mars, because it looked red. I will have to blow the dust off of my stargazing program to find out when and where things are going to be on these cool crisp nights we've been having lately.

# Jupiter and Venus are arranged in a straight line coming away from the moon
going down and slightly to the right
