A fun experiment.
Do you have opportunities to fine-focus with the Wifi Electronic Eyepiece?

Re: New Image: Close Up Oct 29th
Exposure is a little dark and you are way out of focus. If you are unable to reach focus with this camera, you might want to attempt to slide the camera manually in or out of the tube. As it is, it is barely recognizable as a lunar image. Sorry.

Re: New Image: Close Up Oct 29th
Long story! I lost my Bresser Electronic Eyepiece during a house move. One of the reasons I chose the Wifi Electronic Eyepiece is that I can use it without a laptop, as it has a small screen. This allows me to take images when I have limited time and also when it is damp outside and I don't want to risk losing my laptop to moisture. Focussing using a 2in screen is much harder than a 15in one.John Baars wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 9:00 am A fun experiment.

I have since found my Bresser Electronic Eyepiece but the weather has not been kind this year.
My best images were taken with my Phillips SPC880, which does not work with Windows 10. Yes, I have tried emulation packages but without success.
