You're cycling all the way to Folkestone? Or do you consider the half flat to be home now?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:20, Reply)

it's a half flat that's worth more than the whole of coventry
why doesn't someone just put coventry out of its misery? and wolverhampton.

Do you understand what a telescope is?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:29, Reply)

Im suprised you don't think it's all witchery past the clouds.

Why?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:32, Reply)

because you live in a yurt and knit your own slacks.

Through my telescope you can see it about the size of holding a 5p at arms length away from you

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:40, Reply)

What sort of camera?
Edit: Oh I see, a webcam.
( Kroney, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:45, Reply)

It's a modified webcam with an adapter to replace the eyepiece. You take a video sequence and software tracks and 'stacks' the frames to produce one image, you can set it to disguard frames of lesser quality etc.
I've only messed about with it really, but some people have achieved really wicked pictures.
( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:48, Reply)

You can get screw-on adaptors to get an SLR on the end of your telescope.
The scope then acts like a fucking huge camera lens. I've seen some pretty cool images from that set up.
( Kroney, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:57, Reply)

NO WAI!
That's pretty cool.
( GeordieJay Bummers are deaf, Fri 11 Jul 2014, 11:43, Reply)

All you need is a telescope, an equatorial mount, a laptop, a modified webcam, and image stacking software and you're away!!
