Air-cooled Olympus C2000Z Digital Camera - 20" GOTO Starmaster Telescope

by Gary Honis

Ambient temperature was around 50 degrees fahrenheit which allowed for some reduced noise in 32 second exposures with the air-cooled Olympus C2000Z digital camera. Images were taken using a 31mm Nagler eyepiece coupled to the digital camera with a televue digital camera adapter.
