Duration of the Exposure

The table below is an example for standard exposure duration with use of ISO400 films.

If ISO 100 films are used, increase the value by 4 times.

(Unit: Second)

If ISO1600 films are used, decrease the value by a fourth.

Taking photos of a Lunar Eclipse

Duration of the exposure varies as the moon wanes and waxes during an eclipse. An
appropriate exposure in a certain phase of the eclipsed moon can be calculated by
multiplying a given exposure of the full moon by the value in the table below.

Example: If the appropriate exposure of the full moon is 1/60th seconds and you want to
take photos of a 60% waning moon, you can calculate as follows; 1/60 x 8 = 7.5
The appropriate exposure is about 1/8 seconds.


Attaching the Eyepiece Projection Camera Adapter to your Vixen telescope

The eyepiece projection camera adapter can be easily coupled onto the 31.7mm visual back
