Recycled Webcam Astronomical Telescope to be used in by Marcelo Ambrogi - March 2012.
Advantages of using recycled astronomical webcam:
1 - Captures images photographed by the telescope;
2 - Allows better visualization of the Astros;
3 - Allows you to enjoy the Astronomical Science intelligently and cost, even recycling materials that could possibly pollute rivers, seas and native forests.
The important thing is to learn to Astronomical Science, experiencing unique moments with family and friends, watching the beautiful and relaxing nature of the Astros and the Great Full Moon, interacting and perceiving that the simplest things in the universe are on our side in our backyard .
How to build a webcam >> recycled to an astronomical telescope Refractor, Reflector or Astronomical Specs:
Materials:
1 - HD Webcam and fixed focus, preferably in this case is using a web cam variable focus, however the quality of focus on replacing the eye may be impaired.
2 - A small brown PVC pipe ¾ inches at most 40 mm, this length will vary depending on the focus most that will allow the CCD.
3 - Electrical tape to close the whole system and if necessary may be open to future successes.
Important: Always when we do this kind of project we run the risk of finally losing the webcam, and so make sure that the webcam will not be used more, it probably will not do more for normal use and only use the ASTRONOMICAL.
Tools:
1 - Serra arc;
2 - Tape;
3 - Overhead pen
4 - Sands;
5 - Philips screwdriver.
How-to:
In possession of a web cam, open it and take away the lens and IR filter is there to bring the telescope and CCD so check minimum focusing distance usually around 20 mm. I do a dilation of the square base of the PVC in order to fit very close to the base of the CCD.
Pick up the PVC pipe and garbage on the outside enough to lock it into place the eye and do it snaps out of the CCD, the length of about 30 mm.
Cut out what is needed for fixing PVC on the outside of the webcam.
Warning: carefully approach the world in PVC avoid exposing the CCD to dust and scratches. Once agreed and cut the grooves for attaching PVC begin to close the web cam.
Assembly:
Have everything cut and set, do the assembly and step outside the tape to prevent entry of light and dust on the CCD
Space astronomy:
In possession of the telescope that will put the web cam in place of the eyepiece and adjust the focus manually as you would in the case of the eye and check on the PC and the images were to be captured by their own web cam.
Use:
With everything mounted orienting the telescope to the viewing position of the stars and their only guide myself by the images generated by the web cam.
Conclusion:
The proposal is to do a photo shoot or by web cam with the telescope in this case I used a refractor 135 x magnification.
The quality of the webcam in use will determine the quality of images produced, the ideal may sometimes fall short of this project, so use only if it is recycled material and had been discarded, not spend time and money unnecessarily.
Thus able to successfully photographing the Moon and the Stars that pass unnoticed every night for us, year after year.
Precautions and Tips:
Whenever we saw stick and wear eye protection and never be flustered when mounting the CCD, ensuring it is securely fixed to the PVC pipe and do not get loose, so you do not have enough focus to shoot to the satisfaction
You will spend a one hour service workforce.
