Questions and Answers

Antonina (2021.06.21)

Hello,
I'm using Levenhuk SkyMatic 127 GT MAK Telescope together with this camera and planing on taking the pictures of the Moon, but right now the magnification is too big and I cannot get an overall picture. Is there a way to get a less zoomed in image with the camera?

Customer service:

Hi Antonina, Thanks for the query. Please make sure there is no Barlow lens inserted. If there is, it should be removed to lower the magnification of your Levenhuk SkyMatic 127 GT MAK. Also, you should start your observations with the lower magnification 26mm eyepiece.

Lou Roque (2019.12.16)

What magnification can I expect? I have a 1200 mm focal length dobsonion.

Customer service:

Dear Lou, thank you for interest in Levenhuk products. An approximate focal length of the Levenhuk T800 PLUS Digital Camera is 10x. So the magnification of your telescope will be about 120x. Is there any additional information you might need?

ANDREY TAKEV (2019.08.18)

Good day!
I have a problem with the Levenhuk T800 PLUS Digital Camera installation. My machine is with elementary OS 0.4, Ubuntu "long-term support" version kernel (4.4).
The software just doesn't recognize the camera. Thank You!

Customer service:

Dear Andrey, thank you for your inquiry.
System requirements: Linux Ubuntu 14.04. Please try to connect the camera to another PC, maybe the issue with the OS.
Check the Camera settings. If you use the camera on your PC, you need to turn it off.

There is one review on B&H on the T800 and it is not good. Are there any others you are aware of

Hi,
Only a quick question: how do I will ensure the focus?
Looking through the pc?

Customer service:

Dear Massimo, thank you for interest in Levenhuk products! You, need to focus the telescope the same way as you do it with an eyepiece. Yes, you need to look through the PC and focus if needed. Is there any additional information you might need?

В описание написано - Levenhuk T800 PLUS – 8-мегапиксельная камера для телескопа, с помощью которой вы сможете снимать галактики, туманности, звездные скопления, Луну, планеты Солнечной системы и другие астрономические объекты А в Технических характеристиках написано что - Время выдержки, мс 0,4–2000 Вопрос - как можно снять с помощью этой камеры туманности если максимальная выдержка камеры всего 2000мс(2 секунды) если для того, что бы снять туманности нужна выдержка намного больше чем 2 секунды!
