Blue Bird
Eyepiece: Tele Vue 18mm Radian
Notes: @ 50-yrds in hi-res mode
|
Telescope: Tele Vue-85 & Tele Vue-76 APO
All bird images were taken by Mr. Mike
Peoples through a Tele Vue-85 or Tele Vue-76 (where noted)
telescope, setup with an Everbrite 90º diagonal, the indicated Tele Vue
eyepiece, and a Nikon Coolpix 950 (1600 x 1200 pixels maximum resolution)
digital camera. The camera's optical zoom was used to frame the image. A
Tele Vue Radian Adapter was used to solidly mate the camera's
non-removable lens to the Tele Vue eyepiece.
The long eye relief designed into many
of Tele Vue's eyepieces allows for afocal imaging with minimum vignetting.
This system of "afocal" imaging is a convenient way to take telephoto
images with cameras that have non-interchangeable lenses. |
