Hi,
this is an ocular (40mm).

The zoom calculation is

Zoom = Telescope focal/ocular focal

With the skyline 80/400 I have

400/12.5=32x

if I use the 40mm ocular

400/40=10x

Themasmo.

Is this used for land shots also ?

[themasmo]

Hi,
yes.

I use it for astronomy and land shots.

This shot is taken with dx7630 + telescope in afocal.

The castle is far away 2km (ocular 20mm), the convent is 8km (ocular 10mm).

To put the digi in front of ocular i use the baader microstage.

Keep the info coming what kind of telescope and in what price range is all this equipement?

[themasmo]

GoodMorning,
the prices are in euro (Outside Europe (or Italy!!) (in USA) the prices are lower):

Telescope 80/400 : 160,00 €
Baader Microstage 6030 : 48,00 €
Ocalur 10mm : 38,00 €
Ocular 25mm : 33,00 €
Ocular 40mm : 48,00 €

You must have a very good tripod to use the camera with telescope.

The telescope weight is 2.5Kg + the ocular + the microstage + the camera.
