Welcome to a new world of adventure. Your new StarShoot Solar System Video Eyepiece (SSVE) is capable of display- ing detailed, full-color video of astronomical objects in our solar system. The planets, Moon, and Sun (with optional solar filter) can all be imaged to create spectacular views on your TV Screen. The SSVE can even be used during the day to take images of terrestrial subjects. You’ll find that this inexpensive, yet capable and easy to use camera will enhance all of your journeys with your telescope.

Please read this instruction manual before attempting to use the camera.

System Requirements (refer to Figure 1)

Telescope

The SSVE can be used with virtually any telescope that is compatible with 1.25" format eyepieces. The camera simply is inserted into a focuser in the same way as a standard eyepiece (Figure 1). If you use a star diagonal, you should remove it. If your telescope does not have enough inward focus travel, you will need to use an optional 1.25" Barlow lens to extend the telescope’s focal plane to the camera’s imaging plane.

For most types of astro-imaging with the SSVE, using a telescope with a focal length of at least 1000mm is recommended. Otherwise, the image scale may be too small. To increase the effective focal length of your system, use a Barlow lens or other type of tele-extender lens.

Mount

While using an equatorial (EQ) mount is recommended to achieve the best results, one is not absolutely required for general imaging with the SSVE. Since the maximum exposure time is only a fraction of a second, astronomical objects will not drift significantly through a telescope attached to an altazimuth mount or Dobsonian base during single image captures. Use a sturdy mount that is appropriately sized for the telescope tube being used.

For obtaining the best planetary images, however, we do recommend an equa- torial mount. Planetary imaging requires combining many individual images, and having an equatorial mount will prevent the planet from drifting out of the field of view of the camera during the time it takes to acquire the large number of images necessary. A motor drive (single-axis) is recommended too, so you can track the target object as you transmit live images to your laptop or PC.

Video can be recorded via standard VCR’s, DVR’s or Camcorder’s equipped with a composite RCA input. Movie files can then be downloaded to a PC for image processing.
