What results can I expect with this camera/telescope combination for astrophotography?

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
Question by cherrypowered:

I'm a keen photographer and currently use a Canon EOS 400D, I was wondering what sort of results I could expect if I were to use it with a telescope for astrophotography.

I was thinking about getting a Bresser Messier R90mm or R130mm
http://www.scopesnskies.com/prod/Bresser/telescope-for-astronomy/messier130.html
(link to the R130mm)

What sort of results or things would I be able to see with this telescope? and how well would they translate into a digital picture?

Digital Camera help??

Sunday, July 13th, 2008
Question by oobigsisoo:

I want to buy a new digital camera for some events coming up. One is a trip to Florida, and the others are two concerts (one in the day and one at night). The thing is, I can't decide between the:
Olympus FE-290 7.1-Megapixel Digital Camera – Black for 170$
or the
Samsung S73 7.2-Megapixel Digital Camera – Green for only 80$
They are both on sale and both got good reviews, but the only reason I can't decide is because the 180$ camera has a high ISO and the other doesn't specify…..I heard that ISO was the key to taking great pictures at concerts….
So if anyone can help me out and clear this up and tell me what camera out of these two i should invest my money in, I'd be sooo GRATEFUL!!
Thanks in advance.

Headshot photographer - which should I choose? Someone who shoots better photos or makes me more comfortable?

Monday, July 7th, 2008
two_design_kitties asked:

I'm getting my headshots taken next month for the first time (b/c my braces are coming off.. yay!), but I'm torn btwn 2 photographers. The first one, I love his work - his shots are beautiful, detailed, done very tastefully, but.. he seems a bit stiff formal and I was ok with him. The second photographer, he had amazing chemistry and I laughed a lot with him - but his photos weren't as fantastic (although still very strong) as the first.

Who should I go with? I want to have great photos, but I don't want my smile to be sub-par or look forced? Maybe tips on how to interact with with the more formal photographer?

Photos share problem?

Monday, July 7th, 2008
Question by Natalia S:

Dear Sir/Madam,

The "photo share" function is not working correct. It should allow to view only those photos that are selected to be shared.
Right now there is the problem with that. When some of the photos selected to be shared & sent to somebody, there is link "Back to my photos" displayed & allow to view all other photos stored in yahoo photos drive.
Could you please resolve this privacy issue ASAP?

Regards,

Natalia.

Thanks.

HP's Home Photo Studio…with everything included!

Digital camera/photo printer combo has everything to get you started. HP makes it easy for you to take the plunge into digital photography by bundling a digital camera with a compatible photo printer — at a great value! This package includes everything you need to get started: a 5.0-megapixel camera, a fast printer, ink, and starter 8 1/2" x 11" photo paper. You'll be able to take pictures and print them right away.
Print beautiful photos in as fast as 27 seconds. Take great pictures and print them — even borderless! — from 4" x 6" all the way to extra-long 8 1/2" x 24" paper size. The 7850 printer offers quick print speeds up to 20 ppm (pages per minute) in black-and-white or full color; printer also includes a removable 4" x 6" photo tray for creating frameable prints anytime. Plus, the 6-ink photo technology enables all gradations of grays and colors.
Focus up close from far away with 4x digital zoom. You can zoom in or out to frame your subject exactly the way you want it to look, whether it's a bird on a nearby hill or a favorite football player on the field during the game.
Includes starter photo paper in 8 1/2" x 11" size. Experiment with your first photos by printing them in a large, frameable size on the included photo paper. You'll quickly notice how the dense 5.0-megapixel resolution lets you print enlarged images beautifully, without noticeable "grainy" effects.
1.5" on-camera LCD screen for preview/review. The built-in LCD lets you frame every shot before you click; after you've taken a series of pictures, review them all on the same screen — slide-show style.
Shoot mini movies in full-motion video with audio. Be ready to capture baby's first steps, the graduate's moment on the stage, and more…in sound and motion! This camera captures film clips with up to 24 fps (frames per second).
HP Image Zone software lets you sort and edit your photos on-camera. Crop and resize your photos, then file them by date or keyword so you can easily retrieve them later. You can even create your own greeting cards and photo albums! Plus, Image Zone can restore a picture you accidentally deleted or inadvertently edited.
Print directly via the included PictBridge™ cable or via SD/MMC cards. Both the E317 camera and the 7850 printer are PictBridge-enabled, so all you have to do is connect them with the included cable…and print! Store pictures in the built-in 16MB memory, or use Secure Digital™ or MultiMediaCard™ media (sold separately) to transfer picture files from your camera to your printer.

Whats the deal with webcam astrophotography with and without using eye pieces?

Saturday, June 28th, 2008
Question by planck12:

I am trying to understand the reason of using a eye piece to take a picture of planet and at times removing the eyepiece and sticking the camare right into the eyepiece holder to take a picture.

How does the former differ from the latter ? I am just wanting to use webcam astrophotography to see how things work out, what is a cheap webcam (I suppose with CCD sensor as opposed to CMOS) in the market that would give good results with a newtonian 5"inch ape and 650mm focal.

thanks

Camera Experts, would a Kodak 10X Zoom camera be allowed in a concert that only allows nonprofessional cameras

Saturday, June 21st, 2008
sunrise_n_tn asked:

I'm attending a concert soon, that specifically says they will allow non-professional, small personal camera's. I have a Kodak 10x Zoom Digital Camera. The lens extends from the camera, it is not removeable. I know it's not a professional camera, but I asked the facility the concert is to be held in, if this camera would be allowed in, since it is a zoom camera. She said she didn't know. I'd like someone's opinion that knows about this kind of thing. Would the concert people consider my Kodak 10x Zoom camera a non-professional camera & allow me to take it in? I'd hate to get all the way there (I have to travel), get all the way to the door, only to be told I can't use it because it's not considered a small personal camera. Please help! Thanks ahead of time!

I stored select photos in a file folder in my email account. Will those photos disappear 9-20-07?

Friday, June 20th, 2008
Question by Lois J:

Over the years, I've saved photos I want to keep in a file folder called "Photos". The number I saved is about 50-100 photos. Recently, I clicked on PHOTOS in the lower left margin of yahoo, OUTSIDE my email box. There, I found about 1000 photos and images, including those in emails I had never opened. Will the photos I have stored within my email file folder labeled photos be affected by the 9-20 closing or just the 1000's in the outside photo box? Thanks.

Tips for someone who is new to astrophotography and proper alignment of telesope?

Monday, June 16th, 2008
Question by bastian915:

Hi, I'm getting a telescope for the first time (an Orion StarMax 102) and it is coming with a german equatorial mount [em-8] and a celestron motor autoguide. I'm very much interested in doing astrophotography with it but where I've never owned a telescope before I'm not sure how to get it lined up so the motor drive will track properly. I've looked at a website online and it seemed rather complex in the way they worded it. I'm also not quite sure about how to take pictures with my camera. I currently own an olympus om-10 and an olympus E-300 digital camera and can get a t ring for it so I can connect them to the scope but i'm not sure about focussing. again I found a website but it seemed rather complex. I'm thinking I should use my om-10 as the exposure times are quite long and so the noise on the digital camera would be out of this world. Any ideas for a newby to astrophotography.

Yahoo photo rejects all photos saying "note: 1 mb available". Have they implemented storage limit?

Saturday, June 14th, 2008
Question by PM_Guy:

I am trying to upload photos to my album on Yahoo photos but it rejects all photos and adds a note on top in red saying "Note: Only 1 MB available". Earlier another Yahoo photo album only took 60 photos and rejected the rest saying same message in red. Has Yahoo implemented any storage limit?

It had no problems when I used it last - may be about 2 months back.
