Bresser USB Microscope MicrOcular Telescope Camera Full HD Resolution, with Integrated UV/IR Blocking Filter and Various Adapters for Microscopes and Telescopes

Bresser Full HD (1080p) USB 2.0 Microscope Telescope camera with various adapters this is a great camera for your astrophotography as it takes stills and video. I use the telescope adapter 31.75mm provided in conjunction with a Celestron 1.25 inch Omni2x Barlow lens. When used on our Celestron 70EQ Refractor Telescope With the Barlow lens removed via unscrewing from the Barlow housing the camera acts like a 7mm eyepieces you get a Magnification of 129x. Add the 2x Barlow lens and the Magnification 257x. Replace the Barlow with a Svbony 1.25 inch 0.5x Focal Reducer brings the Magnification down to 64x. By using this method your telescope has 3 zooms for viewing objects like the moon & Planets. If you also would like to add a filter to the view to reduce light, say a moon filter then you can add this to your star diagonal end of the 70 EQ Telescope.I would Suggest that you get a usb 2 extension lead as the camera cable is short. Well worth getting this camera for the telescope. Have also used this on the Solarix Telescope to view the sun though the sun filter must be used on any observations of the sun through this telescope I did noticed that even filtered light the camera got hot quick so minimal use for solar viewing would be advisable. Yet to try the camera on the Celestron 103 EQ reflector but it should work fine. Definitely would buy again. Great little Telescope camera.

For the price point, this is a really good introduction to microscope videography/photography and the features are rather better than cheap imported non-brand alternatives. It's very much plug-and-play, with the bundled software giving a reasonable range of adjustment for beginners and slightly more advanced users. I've attached a darkfield video I did, using this camera and a reflective darkfield stage, on an antique Olympus metallurgical scope with LED light source. As you can see, the image is pretty crisp and pleasant to view. Downsides, for me, are that it sometimes has issues with automatic exposure, especially in low light, where it will sometimes 'bounce' from bright to dark, but I can usually compensate for this in Bresser's software. I'd also rather like a higher resolution and perhaps some image processing in the camera, to allow for optimisation for the specific setup I'm using, though that's a bit much to ask in such a low-price camera and it does great as a starter, which I'll keep using on my secondary scope, after I've gotten a higher-end imager for the main unit. The only other issue I've had was (I believe) caused by having accidentally placed a magnet next to the USB cable (silly me) and thus getting some signal loss that corrupted some video. Probably best not to put strong magnets next to electronics... All-in-all, very happy and I'd recommend it, especially if you want to get kids fascinated by microbiology and don't want them being put off by having to find the focal-spot on eyepieces! :-)

very compact and nicely made. Images met my expectations. The software included works very well, easy set up. I am just starting out and I have no experience with very expensive cameras or video cameras connected to a telescope I have used it in my 114cm full goto telescope and my dads cheapest £50 first scope unit and it performs very well on both. I use a 5meter USB2 to mini USB standard cable from maplins and it works perfectly, no interference and powers the camera without any issues over that length of cable. for viewing the moon I use a Moon filter dropped inside my 2X barlow lens, as my barlow and this camera do not have a Filter thread and images are very good but you can use it without, but the filter reduces any flickering you occasional get as the intense light changes as the moon moves across the screen, if not tracking.. This camera dose not have a stepped ring at the top of the body, so do not let it drop right into the eyepiece holder, it will slide right in. I plug it into my laptop and then wirelessly stream it on my Smart 40inch smart tv and the images are way better than my Laptop which surprised me. We can leave the telescope set up outside with cable coming in through window, into the Laptop and watch the images in the comfort of a warm room with the tracking mode on telescope enabled, Very pleased with the camera

I was slightly disappointed when I connected it to the PC because there was something on the CCD or the filter which appeared in focus on every image, the software isn't the easiest to use and takes a bit of working out mostly when saving the image but it does work. I have returned the camera for a refund because of the image issue.

Arrived well packaged and easy to set up. Just downloaded the software and connect the camera to my laptop. It did take some time to get the focusing right and found it's best to turn the light down a bit on the microscope. All images with x10 lens. The pics are placed as tabs on your screen and you have to save each one individually and set location. Videos are saved straight to your video files. I am well happy with what the images come out at and it's so much easier for me than trying to look down the eye piece. One of the best buys for checking my koi are ok and from the image I have a problem to deal with.

Seriously... DONT! I am not sure if I was just unlucky and bought a dud. But this camera cant even see Vega (one of the brightest stars in the constellation,) I have been trying to use this for the last few months and everything I look at with this camera is totally black! even the moon appears fuzzy and no amount of focus and change to the Barlow will correct it, I suggest saving the money you will spend on this heap of junk and save up for a decent camera from a reputable dealer. Another issue I have been having is that there is no screw to hold the camera in place, which is fine if the telescope is flat however if you have a SkyWatcher telescope like me, any form of vertical movement see's the camera fall out the adapter. And another issue is that if you knock the wire at all the software which it is bundled with crashes and the stops recognizing the camera, the only fix is to restart your laptop.

As the title says, its a great camera on the lower end of the price spectrum. Granted it's not the greatest but it certainly works! Using the camera, I managed to gather enough frames to get alright images of Jupiter and Saturn. However I did not use the Bresser software to record, I used Sharpcap which is a free download and has really helpful settings that can be adjusted according to views. The camera itself along with the attachments fit well in the eyepiece slot of my telescope, however there is nothing to hold the camera in place. Which is why this product loses a star. The problem is easily fixed with a little bit of bluetac, though it shouldn't have to be used at all. Overall a nice camera, perfect for the beginner planetary photographer!

I like something I can easily plug and play, and I have to admit to not really having read any of the instructions with this camera or much of the instructions on my Astromaster 130EQ which I plugged this into. The video you see here is just the camera plugged straight into the eyepiece hole. There are several different shots in the 2 minute video. For some reason, the first shots is jerky and flashes a little, after 30 seconds the second shot is smoother. Excuse the shakiness - a clear night but very windy up on the hill. Video was taken in mid-Wales on 10th February 2017. WARNING! While video that you take seems to autosave, images don't, and must be saved on at a time. Don't spend an hour getting frostbite only to find ALL your images from the night vanished when you closed the laptop... RTFM! As a bonus (which doesn't affect my rating) I bought this on the Amazon "Big Thanks £10 off" day, so got it for £41. Well pleased! Talking of money, this video is what you get for £140 (£99 for scope from another place and £40 for the camera). Well worth the money to excite the interest of a young person.
