Panasonic SD9 mounted to meade etx70 autostar telescope camera jod. Amazing 1080p telephoto spy

I recently bought a panasonic sd9 high definition 1920x1080p camcorder, and decided to hook it up to one of my telescopes and see how well it worked for observing the sun with a solar filter. Digital Technology is an absolutley phenomenal companion to astronomy. This thing can also read the liscense plate of a parked car from several miles distance. With the proper software, this can track faces, as well as planetary objects.

Nice camera mount! I know you made it yourself though it looks rock steady! I made one for myself as well! Works wonders super easy to make!

@Edsan91 check out this awesome idea i had last night watch v=CzLhW0Il87k

No slippage whatsoever, the motorized fork arms support the weight of a 5lb camera without causing errors. I also made this for my etx125. The 125 is a little drifty in the images compared to the etx70, but it i think thats because im using an extremely light weight, homemade aluminum tripod on it.

did you get any sort of slipage with camcorder attached to the meade

@gotya1234 no sir , its rock steady. The gears reamain fully engaged in all positions, even fully vertical.
