Correctly focusing Sol’Ex camera tube at night 6/6/24
Correctly focusing Sol’Ex camera tube by taking it out of Sol’Ex, mounting on tripod, and aiming at star at night. This needs an object that is close to infinity and tree at bottom of my garden turned out to be quite insufficient.
Following advice from Minh in Vietnam today.
Thanks, Minh!
Andy
