For anyone confused about the difference between cameras and lenses and telescopes here is some quick information about equipment I own.
It appears that you are the one who is confused between a telescope and a camera. From your previous quotes you were arguing about the view through telescopes on EQ mounts and are now abandoning that argument and insist that the EQ mount discussion is not about telescopes anymore, and that you only mean the view through a camera only.
Did you not read my post?
I tried, using simple pictures and being as brief as possible (as you complain when explanations are too lengthy or complex) to show you that there is no difference between hooking up a camera to a telescope to look at stars, and hooking up a lens to a camera to look at stars.
They are the same thing, a tube with glass in it.
I am at a loss as how you are unable to comprehend this. What is confusing you?
You need to look beyond the words, Tom. Camera, telescope, lens... yes these are different words but I am talking about the exact same thing with all of them. Attaching them to an EQ mount to track and photograph the stars.
Again... a telescope and a zoom lens perform the SAME FUNCTION. You look through them and they magnify and focus light.
I think you need to spend some time learning about hos all this works. You really should make some accounts on various astronomy forums and ask questions there. Your claim that stars go in ovals goes against everything millions of people observe with their own telescopes and yes, cameras. It's very simply to explain that a device designed to turn in circles is meant to track things that also move in circles. Go to some other forums and ask your questions to verify what I am saying. You will find they give the same answers I do. Ask if stars go in ovals or circles. Ask if EQ mounts are meant to go in circles and track circular stars.
You don't have to limit yourself, there is a whole world out there of people who have the answers to your questions. Ask them. Do some research, the truth is out there.
