Levenhuk T310 NG is a modern digital camera that may be used with telescopes of any brand or optical design. It allows you to capture the serenity and stillness of cosmos, and the breathtaking beauty of celestial objects. It is very easy to attach this camera to a telescope, and easier still to connect it to your PC or a laptop.
Levenhuk T310 NG is mounted in place of the eyepiece and allows you to observe objects thousands upon thousands of miles away—in real time on your PC monitor. You can also capture the most stunning views and save them on the hard drive for future editing. The camera is compatible with focusers of 1.25" in barrel diameter, and its field of view matches that of your telescope.
This camera may be connected to your PC via a USB 2.0 port (note that when plugged into a USB 1.0 or 1.1, the camera may operate incorrectly). The USB cable also acts as a power cable, so you do not have to worry about batteries or the power supply when it is plugged in. A number of user settings are available for camera operation, such as the white balance and exposure control. All images of celestial objects that you take will, therefore, always be sharp and clear. Included with the camera is a CD with Levenhuk ToupView software that allows you to edit images on your PC.
The latest version of Levenhuk ToupView for Windows (release date: 11/20/2013) supports eight languages: English, French, German, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese,Traditional Chinese, Turkish.
