Revolution Imager R2
Here the first image I took with my Revolution Imager last night. The Revolution Imager is a video camera, so this image is of the monitor.
I was able to clearly see the center star of M57 which is not normally possible with the 8SE. At least I have never seen it before in my 8SE.

Re: Revolution Imager R2
Have you had cabling issues with the R2? I've considered getting one since I'm in so much LP soup, but I've read a number of comments that the cords are: too many, not long enough, get twisted up; screen's too small etc. I like the R2 b/c I really don't want to drag out a laptop with everything else when observing.

I drink tea, I read books, I look at stars when I'm not cursing clouds. It's what I do.

Re: Revolution Imager R2
No I haven't had issues with cables. I put it all in a toolbox/case I got from Menards. It is just one cable going to the camera, everything is self contained.pakarinen wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:20 pm Have you had cabling issues with the R2?

I did buy many accessories though.
