INTRODUCTION
The PC Camera is an excellent beginner's
tool for telescope imaging. You will be able
to take still images or video of bright
celestial objects, such as the Moon and

prism to capture images of distant objects,
such as birds, trees, buildings, etc. Objects
need to be at least 100 yards away.
