Dear, if I install a reflex camera for astrophotography, how many seconds or minutes allows me to keep the item without diverting?

Another thought: You may want to consider getting an equatorial wedge for your scope. That converts the alt-azimuth drive to an equatorial drive. Celestron sells one.

I know very little about astrophotography but I am reasonably sure you need to have an equatorial mount for your scope to accurately track objects for any amount of time. The next star 8 comes with the alt azimuth mount. I think you can buy the equatorial mount as an accessory. My guess would be less than a minute with your scope as is.

30 seconds is the max with an Alt-AZ mount. Any pictures with exposure time longer than 30sec and you will start seeing trails.

I advise you to go to the Sky & Telescope website. They offer a course in amateur astrophotography.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

Depending on how you set it on your settings, it can be delayed for as long as you wished, but Sony has it in the box by default; so you will need to configure your settings. I have mine for 1 sec so I can see it quickly and depending on the circumstances, I will have it off if it is necessary, others, I would move it to 3 to 5 seconds to study it if any adjustments is necessary and this gives me a chance to delete this "image" right on the spot if it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to without having to go to the menu and review everything there. Everyone is different, so take your time and configure your Sony Camera settings the way you would like for it to be - but note: Some settings in some areas, are not applicable while others it would be available so it pays to take your time to configure everything everywhere.

Not very long. Only good for being right next to the camera. I bought an extension cord for mine.

thank you for your reply. i am expecting the camera to arrive in a day or two. lets see what is it's condition.

I would just hold it steady. For me, it works fine, and, I don't have no tripod! I got a lovely view of the Orion Nebula without that much shake. And, after viewing for a while, I would put it down and rest my arms. And for uses with telescopes, OH YES:D

I wasn't positive as to the answer , so I called my Granddaughter ( sold the camera to her without really using it much)--She says "Continuous"--Hope this helps.

Get a battery grip and it will last you a few hours of shooting. You will prob run out of disk space before you run out of battery.

havent tried that. don't see why it wouldn't as long as youfollow there directions.. remember you need to follow the ratio of reflector to dead time. y

If you have it on Bulb exposure it will go beyond the 10 seconds regardless. You should be able to use it with your camera,but before you make the purchase you can put your camera model/Stlye, and it will tell you yes or no.

I use text for Dropcams that I want immediate response. I usually get a text within seconds of the camera noticing my motion.

If the subject is moving you need to use a faster shutter speed to prevent blurring.

Apparently canon puts a 30 min limit on recording time to protect the sensor. A 128gb card would get you about 1hr in HD so the limit is 64Gb.

It is only a few seconds, maybe two or three. I used this camera for the first time this weekend on a getaway & had no issue with the slight delay. Still got great pictures.

You set the camera body on Bulb and you can set the amount of time the timer keeps the shutter open. 2-7-12 minutes, etc. which is the same as open continuously.

I don't think you will run out. I have the 15 camera system so I have 500MB but when I had the 5 camera system I never came close to using all the storage. I usually look at everything once our twice a day and delete it all. I usually look at a motion event when it happens and I get the email, then delete later. You will need to have the sensitivity set high to pick up motion from the cats. I have outside cameras too and if I have them set over 50% they will pick up cars going bi up to 100 yards away, and also on a partly cloudy day will react to the shadow of a cloud.

The camera only works in the direction it is pointed, toward the road. It pivots, so you could turn it any direction.The recording is good for about 8 hours before it starts over. The memory is saved in 10 minute increments. So if I notice the actual time of an incident, it is easy to look up later. I have used it over a year and love it
