Telescope Lens
Can you attach a telescope lens to a video camera?
I have a JVC Everio GZ-MS120BU digital video camera, and since the meteor shower is tonight, I would like to record it. I have a couple Celestron telescope lenses for my telescope, but I was wondering if I could rig something up, like taping the telescope lens to the end of my video camera so I can see the meteors more clearly. Would that work?
No. The best view of a meteor shower is with the naked eye, not through a telescope. A telescope lense will only look at a small section of the sky. And being as they move very quick thorough the sky, the odds of seeing one through a telescope lense are very high. Also, a meteor can be very bright so a view through a telescope is not a good idea.
I don’t know what the optics of your video camera are like but if you want to try and capture it, the wider the view, the better.
