FinderCam Astrophotography

M31 is located using FinderCam and shot by Daniel Mendell

A digital finder scope for telescope, binocular and naked eye. Latest demo video is recorded in March 19, 2023 at https://youtu.be/md9LDchUuzU. In this video, I use FinderCam to find some bright stars and M42 Orion Nebula instantly. It shows the 2 steps star alignments that lead user accurately to the target.

Benefits:
- Display more stars than the naked eye can see. It uses stacking and image processing to make more stars visible.
- It saves you many frustrating hours finding your deep sky objects.
- Attach phone to telescope and it can leads you to 110 Messier deep sky objects accurately. Planets and bright stars.
- It works in heavily light polluted cities where there is only 1 or 2 stars in the partial cloudy night sky. The special about this app is that it uses only one bright star alignment to guide users to target.

Requirements:
- For most telescope, you need a basic phone adapter. If you are using a binocular, you will need a L mount.
- You will need mount with slow motion control like Dobsonian telescope or slow motion tripod. The app requires you to move a crosshair to target.

Note:
Like a finder scope, you need to align FinderCam to telescope.
