System

Requirements (refer to Figure 1)

Telescope

The DSVC 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 before installing the DSVC. 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 (Barlow sold separately).

Mount

While using an equatorial (EQ) mount is recommended to achieve the best results, one is not absolutely required for imaging with the DSVC.

For obtaining the best deep space and planetary images, however, we do rec- ommend an equatorial mount. Deep space imaging requires the longest expo- sure and hence requires more accurate tracking.

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 nec- essary. A motor drive (single-axis) is recommended too for convenient capture of sequential images without manual re-adjustment of the telescope’s position.

For the best results a GoTo mount is highly recommended.

Viewing Devices

The Camera outputs a standard composite video signal that can be displayed or recorded on any device with composite video input such as a TV, Projector, Camcorder, DVR or VCR (Figure 2).

Optionally using the included Orion Video Capture Device, camera output can also be viewed and captured on a PC/Laptop (Figure 3).

(Read the Orion StarShoot Video Capture Device manual for details).
