Astrodslr xti
For astrophotography, it’s recommended to use equatorial mount because you can take long exposures with it.
ASTRODSLR XTI MANUAL
Manual mounts can be upgraded with a step motor that tracks the object, and it is even cheaper, but you will have a hard time to find deep space objects on the sky with it. GoTo system will find every target automatically, and it will track the object during the shoot. Telescope Mountįirst, we need the GoTo mount, not a manual one. This is the most expensive part of our budget astrophotography setup. dedication and a little bit of DIY skillīy cheap I mean adequate piece of equipment for least money possible for this purpose.Ultra Thin T-Ring to connect the camera to a telescope.Nevertheless, even with the best effort we can’t test all cameras, so please download a trial version and test it with your camera before buy it! If it will not work, let us know, maybe we can still help you and fix it.Įven if it can be used separately, it is meant to be used together with AstroTelescope and AstroGuider.ĪstroDSLR is a member of our astrophotography tools family including also AstroImager, AstroGuider, AstroTelescope, FITS Preview, INDIGO Server for OS X, INDIGO Dashboard, INDIGO Control Panel, INDIGO Script Editor, Astrometry for OS X and INDIGO Sky linux distribution for RaspberryPi.

ASTRODSLR XTI DRIVERS
The following drivers are bundled with the application: As far as this application is based on INDIGO framework, it can use many INDIGO drivers for focusers for astronomical telescopes which can be easily adapted to control manual focus lenses or macro rails. no LiveView or manual lens drive with older Nikon and some Sony cameras), but it doesn't mean, that such camera can't be used. Not every feature is supported for every camera (e.g.
The built-in INDIGO driver is based on ImageCapture API and, in theory, it can work with almost any Nikon DSLR, Canon EOS DSLR (but not EOS M or DIGIC II and older cameras) and some Sony Alpha and Fuji DSLR-like or mirrorless camera. Captured images can be plate-solved using public or local service. It can measure FWHM and the drift of a selected star to help easier and faster focus and align your equatorial telescope mount. It can preview (optionally using LiveView) or capture and save images to selected folder with any file name prefix, count and time lapse, browse captured images and show them in Finder, zoom and stretch them automatically or manually. AstroDSLR is an application similar to AstroImager, an easy to use tool for astrophotography, but intended for use with DSLR cameras.ĪstroDSLR controls ISO, aperture (if lens mounted), shutter speed, exposure compensation, metering and focusing modes, white balance, image quality and format and BULB exposure length.
