Is the type of lens important for a digicam?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
Because the only option with most models is to use afocal projection through an eyepiece it is worth investing in a digicam with a good-quality lens. Cheaper Digicams have poor lenses which limit the achievable resolution.

Is the type of memory chip my Digicam uses important?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
The type of storage medium or memory chip (e.g. Compact Flash, SmartMedia) is unimportant, but it is very important that images be saved in 'uncompressed' or 'raw' format. This takes up more memory, and this is why most cameras have the option to reduce file size by using JPG compression within the camera's firmware. However, the effect of using compression is to introduce artefacts which severely limit subsequent image processing.

What type of amplifier/speaker works best with the Acoustic Lens?

Trance Audio - Frequently Asked Questions
The Acoustic Lens has been voiced to work best with a flat response, full range system. The better the frequency response of the system, the better the Lens will sound. There are a number of "acoustic" amplifier combos on the market, some better than others. Better still is a system like a small PA system, with component mixer, amp and speakers. These types of systems will generally have a better frequency response, more dynamic range and more flexibility.

Which type of lens care system is best?

InFar Vision
Lens care systems consist of three main categories, multi-purpose systems, peroxide-based systems and thermal-based systems. Multi-purpose systems are the most popular lens care regime as these "all-in-one" solutions are the easiest and quickest to use. Peroxide-based systems are best for people with sensitivities and allergies. You should not make your own lens care solutions, nor should you mix different brands of solutions unless instructed by your eye care practitioner.

Why is non-violence so important to Media Lens ?

faq
Violence always feeds concentrated power and repression. One of the reasons the world is dominated by concentrated power to the extent that it currently is, we believe, is that the left has often not renounced violence. This has been used to marginalise and destroy the left, and to strengthen established power. This, surely, is one of the big lessons to be learned from the last century.

Why is it important for oxygen to pass through the lens to the eye?

O2OPTIX Breathable Contact Lens
Oxygen is essential for corneal health. Insufficient oxygen compromises normal eye function and may cause the cornea to swell. While minimal swelling is common during sleep, even in people who do not wear contact lenses, sleeping in ordinary contact lenses substantially reduces oxygen supply to the eyes which can cause the cornea to swell significantly. This condition often results in very irritated eyes and uncomfortable lens wear.

Can I control my Digicam from my computer?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
If the digicam can be firmly mounted to a telescope then remote control software (available for newer Nikon, Olympus, Canon and some other cameras) allows virtually all functions of the camera to be operated remotely using a computer. Older cameras may be restricted to viewing the image and taking an exposure. If full remote control is available the great advantage is that operating the often tiny manual controls is avoided (very frustrating on a cold night!).

The lens is the part of the eye that helps focus light on the retina. The retina is the eye's light-sensitive layer that sends visual signals to the brain. In a normal eye, light passes through the lens and gets focused on the retina. To help produce a sharp image, the lens must remain clear.

PDT/SDT is not very dependant on knowledge of the type of cancer. What our doctors do need to know is the size and approximate location of the primary tumour (if still present), and to have a general indication of where metastases may be. This information is usually available from scans, from photodynamic diagnosis, and from our doctor’s knowledge of typical cancer migration pathways. Conventional therapies need to know the above and a lot more.

How to buy telescopes? Telescope reviews: reflecting telesco...
The larger the telescope lens or telescope mirror, the fainter the objects a telescope will reveal (the more objects that will be visible), and the greater the telescope magnification it can use and still produce a good image. For example, at 120x, a ten inch telescope will reveal hundreds of objects not visible in a three inch telescope. In addition, at 120x, the 10" inch telescope will produce images that are brighter and sharper than the 3" inch telescope.

How is a Digicam different from an ordinary camera?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
A digital camera ('DigiCam') uses a CCD chip in place of film as the image sensor. It is 'digital' because all the image information is recorded as digital data and stored electronically. The more expensive examples have larger CCD chips offering better resolution. The size of the chip is quoted in Mega-Pixels (millions of pixels), the largest commonly available is approx. 6MPixel.

Should I use the Digital Zoom on my Digicam?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
Digital zoom is a feature of little use to ordinary photography because all it does is expand the central portion of the image – which is easily be accomplished using a computer anyway. However, it is of some use for astronomical imaging because it makes focusing a little easier. Use the fully zoomed-in view to focus the object, then zoom out again to properly frame the object.

Should I buy an expensive Digicam now or wait a while?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
Digicams are currently on the threshold of being a viable tool for the budding astro-imager. It is unlikely however, that for long exposure work it will be able to replace the functionality of a dedicated astro CCD camera any time soon. Nevertheless, amazing results have been achieved by amateur astronomers using both digital cameras and also webcams, extending their range to capturing stunning images of the brighter deep-sky objects.

What kind of digicam would you recommend?

CameraHobby - FAQs
Depends on the budget you have available, keeping mind that you should also budget for spare batteries and a high capacity storage medium (flash card). For the entry level, a digicam from any of the primary brands (Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, Olympus, Minolta, Pentax, etc.) will do you well. A 2 MP camera can output excellent 4x6 and very good 5x7 sized prints. 3 MP cameras are very reasonably priced these days and will allow for a nice 8x10 size print.
