Message: <blockquote data-quote="Burt" data-source="post: 845174" data-attributes="member: 68616">Old thread, but something I have been experimenting lately...I was going to start a new thread, but I will take advantage of this one instead...I was able to use my Nikon Zfc With the 16-50 lens attached to the Vanguard Endeavor HD 82A 20–60x82 Angled Spotting Scope by using the PA-202 adapter (it can take any lens size). The idea was to take pictures of the sky at night...It was a failure.. The Vanguard is not the best quality for lenses particularly in low light situations, and I believe most telescope would have the same light issue.. In my humble opinion, and I think I'm stating the obvious here,  you really need quality lenses for this kind of photography..The HD 82A works ok at bird spotting during the day, but that is pretty much it... What I have learn however was that I can use it in the day for magnify pictures taken at great distance (50 is the max before the picture start do degrade, but that's a limitation of the HD 82A.. I had some sample pictures, but I just delete them yesterday as they had no real use..Now the second part of my post is that, I did a search on this forum, and I wasn't able to find a thread related to Astrophotography, other than a few related comments...I wouldn't mind learning the ropes about Astrophotography, as I'm in a country with very little light pollution and most of the time, a clear 360° view of the sky...So if we don't already have it, and I wasn't able to find it, would it be possible to start a new forum under the general photography, if there is enough interest here that is, just relate to Astrophotography...Cheers...</blockquote>
