I am starting to experiment with a full color camera for streaming use. This image of the Moon was taken through my ED80T (80mm f/6.0) with an Orion StarShoot Mini camera. It is capable of still imagery as well as video at a moderate full frame rate of 59 fps. I was hoping to have it ready for the recent total lunar eclipse, but clouds conspired to prevent that. The camera actually arrived the day of the eclipse and I would have been winging it but would have given it a shot. So, I’m taking the opportunity now when the Moon is dominating the skies to fine tune some operating parameters.

This scope/camera combination will give me a full disk image of the Moon and Sun, so it is destined to make the trip to Texas for the total solar eclipse on the 8th of April 2024.
