Can the camera be angled as to photograph the sky? I am attempting to take a slow shutter picture of a night launch from NASA Wallop's Island.

That's up to your tripod. This is just an attachment to hold your iPad to a standard tri-pod screw-on adapter.You will have to probably use the front facing camera which is a lower resolution.

Yea you can. It has a notch to be able to rotate the ball for vertical pics. Just my opinion, but I loved the gorilla pod for my point and shoot but don't really care for this version for my D5300. You're really better off with a decent, small tripod.

I think you're asking if it's possible to rotate the camera for vertical shots, the answer is yes.

I havent used this in a while but im pretty sure the magnified image will not be right side up. This doesnt matter for viewing things in the sky but is not very good for viewing things on the ground. I would choose something else for your purpose...

Brian, the moon would be no problem at all. As far as other astro shots it all depends. You would need a longer shutterspeed because this lens doesn't let in a lot of light. You would have to account for the objects to travel since you would be zoomed way in and it doesn't take long even for the moon to move in the shot. The moon can be shot at a fairly high shutter speed since it is so bright. So if you want the moon go for it, I cant really speak for anything else in the night sky. Good luck. Gary

Yes, as the other two replied, you'd have tape or clamp it to the side or top-the camera works very well however you'd also have to play with the orientation.

Yes, it can...I have never tried using that feature yet but I know it is capable of taking panoramic pics!

I don't know the angle in degrees, but I can tell you that it is very wide for as big as the camera is. Hope this helps

Hello thereYes absolutely. You may use a tripod with this camera. I just checked the bottom of the camera. Good Luck

It is really pan and tilt. The camera itself would have to have zoom capabilities. That is unless you are taking pics close up and you could probably use a third servo to move closer or further away.

I would assume they are doing terrestrial shots as I can't imagine using this for DSOs (deep space objects). The Moon might be a viable target with this scope and camera. You would remove the diagonal. At this point you need an adaptor to mount the camera to the back of the refractor. Focusing might be a challenge at first but is doable. Sometimes you may need a longer or shorter adaptor to allow the image to project onto the focal plane of the camera chip. Problems: balancing the scope with the extra weight, finding a T adaptor for your camera if it isn't one of the names like Cannon, Nikon (you may have to do a lot of fitment), vibration due to the light weight and strength of the setup. It would probably be good for a fun startup in astrophotography but would require an upgrade to a larger and more substantial scope/mount/tripod to get satisfying results. Hope that helps. WEK.

I do not know off hand. But I wonder if you could turn the camera so that is is upside down

Yes. There are ways of adjusting it to have it not angle toward the sky. You can tilt it toward you. I do not have it anymore because mine broke. I kept on disassembling it because I do not leave my gps in car. In the process of putting it back and forth from car to tool bag in my apartment, the screw and spring controlling tilt broke. It would probably still be working if I just kept it in car.

I used it to photograph the moon and it was great. I bought it for long shots at wildlife but the sky shots are great.

I'm not sure but I don't think there is any housing designed to let you take the camera deeper. It seems to me that the controls on the camera are not well adapted to being placed in a housing.

I don't think so, the reason being is it has a curve where the camera is. if you like I can take a picture when I get home so you can see what I am talking about.

not really, i mean you could if you taped it there or something but if you turn the camera sideways the picture will be sideways. of course there are apps that you can fix that with but no generally it isnt going to work very well
