Awesome photos!

Thanks, yes, the subject was placed on a glass slide covered with a piece of greenish/blueish paper. The paper became a simple diffuser of the light coming from the condenser. Then I used several external light sources, a couple of Jansjö lights and a Zeiss fiber optic illuminator equipped with pin...

These are amazing - well done!
May I ask how it was mounted?

Is this because of vibration? Or maybe the step size isn't small enough?

Most probably vibration induced by me cause I'm not as patient as some may think

Great image with nice detail Seb - well done

Awesome video - very interesting

Thanks guys :) @75RR - yip, single image @Bruce - Thanks for the info - I did not know that :shock: @BillT - No software - I literally took a picture of a stage micrometer to make a scale-bar template for each objective in Photoshop. Now I just copy the appropriate scale-bar into my image. Capture.j...

Amazing video and a great catch!

Thanks guys.

@Hkv, the magnification range is 1.5 to 3.5 - using 2 separate lenses - one lens covers 1.5 to 2.5 and the other lens 2.5 to 3.5 (the photo-tube extends to change the magnification)

Thanks BillT

Welcome Aenima,

Your photos are amazing - i did not know that is the level of detail one can see as an "amateur" astronomer.

Wow - very nice!
