Hi TelescopeAtNight

You are the supercrack, the genuine freak! Respect for your work. I enjoy all the stunning footage you've made.

Thanks a lot!

Awesome.

I wonder where you get all the big CCD sensors. :)

I own only a Tracer CCD Cam and i think a similar modification does not work on this Cam. :(

But i use it for filming Planets. For this the chip is big enough. :)

Very nice modification. I like the new case.

How much for a camera modified as you show in the video?  Also, how do you control the cooling (that is how do you regulate the temperature of the chip)?

[TelescopeAtNight]

@deazwe I have an upgraded version on ebay right now, the MkII. its in a black case and has a few extra tweaks. The link is in the description. The peltier is self regulating, with careful consideration to the power supply, it is running at about half capacity when idle, but when the CCD begins working hard (and therefore warms up) the peltier will begin also to work harder.

Which Bond movie is the music from?

[TelescopeAtNight]

@JollyPandaImports Its from the N64 videogame of Goldeneye. Not sure if it was in the movie though :)

@TelescopeAtNight Sounds Good!

What is the price making such a telescope?

[TelescopeAtNight]

@Ziggurathss Depends on how far you want to go, but prices start at around 20eur for modification into a planetary imager, 45eur for deep sky (long exposures). Cameras can be supplied if needed.

@TelescopeAtNight thanks for the info friend..
