Using
high powered eyepieces (5 to 25mm) you can take great eyepiece
projection shots of the moon and planets. Its so
simple, just thread the LE-Adapter onto
your camera lens, set the sizing screws to the approximate
diameter of the eyepiece, tighten the LE-Adapter to the eyepiece
and enjoy a no hassle
imaging experience.
We highly
recommend the largest eyepiece as possible. As Kenneth
Farmer, PhD, recently mentioned in a
Product
Review
The new 2Plus will accommodate
eyepieces up to 60mm in diameter. This is important for
two reasons: (1) Larger eyepieces offer brighter images.
This is crucial for ultra-telephoto video, because as
focal length increases, light reaching the CCD decreases.
(2) Larger eyepieces decrease the tendency for vignetting
(darkening of the edges of the image) when used with
digital cameras and camcorders.
