I have had some good success with astrophotography of the moon and planets using a Meade 8" LX200. I would now like to try this type photography during the day. Would need information on daytime alinement of LX200 and camera settings:Would they be same as nightime settings for each object? Also would like to find web pages on this subject. Have had no success at finding. |

Just to be clear, are you saying you want to photograph the moon and planets during the day? And I'm not sure what you mean by "daytime alignment" of the 'scope. Ian G. |

Yes daytime photography. Yes daytime aliment when there are no stars to "go to".Know it can be done with LX200 using sun as aliment star and using Its RA and DEC. and can go from there to other objects as planets using their RA and DEC not the "GO TO" of the LX200 computer. |

The exposure times you'll need will be the same as the ones you'd use at night - the moon and planets are the same brightness. The problem, of course, is that you've got a very bright sky in the picture as well so the contrast will be minimal. As to aligning the scope, you could set it up in the dark and wait, set it up and mark the position of the tripod feet or use a compass. Ian G. |
