I didn't see mentioned in the product description of the EJ500 if it has astronomical capabilities, does it?

Yes it does, but it does not work with all types of lighting. The EJ500 does it all and is a later model.

Not sure exactly what your question is but this version is a straight up timer. No auto adjustments of any sort for sun rise, set, daylight savings our otherwise.

I set it to Sunrise and Sunset in January 2015....It appears to be adjusting on/off to keep up c/ the longer days

I did a search at Amazon for the 44302-B and it appears to be a new model listed for $105.09!! As opposed to $40 for the other one. Not a lot of details,though. Look at the Celestron web site.

I agree with the other answers but would add one cool thing it does. Unlike you, the device is not actually "looking" at the sky. Rather, it is referencing an internal map using GPS coordinates. So you can have it locate planets or stars that are not even visible (behind a tree, below the horizon, etc.)

I am looking at the picture of the back of the 750 on the B and H site. The eyepiece is square, and very likely identical to the one one the D7100 which we have. So yes, most likely. It takes a while for the Hoodman specs to catch up with the newest camera version. I say likely because I don't have a 750 to test &lt;groan&gt;.

Celestron has a list on their site. Check the mount you have, not the telescope.

this is definitely NOT an astronomical instrument. Yes, you can see anything through it, but as far as adding value to seeing the stars, no. you are better off with a pair of binoculars. This is strictly a terrestrial recreational handheld glass.

For my part, I think YES. which gives superior performance is its orbital motion.

The correct answer should be "Well, Maybe Yes***, kind-a / sort-a". Attempting to use this with an astronomical telescope will present plenty of "challenges". 1. Getting the imager congruent with the image plane. The camera comes with a 30mm OD adaptor, which should fit a 1-1/4" eyepiece holder. 2. The f/speed of the system, and imaging speed of the device, may limit what you can capture with this system. Since this is made for microscopes, the lighting in usually adjustable by the user. But for astrophotography, you might be able to capture the moon, and larger / brighter planets may be within reach of a moderate size (8"+) objective. However as there is little or no real integration time, stars and nebulae are unlikely targets. 3. Resolution may disappoint you. This device only records 2 megapixels. That may seem like a lot, but I'm used to more. Also dynamic range is in question here. Ultimately, it depends on your needs, expectations, pocket book, and willingness to make it work in an application it wasn't designed for. But if you think you are up to the challenges, go for it!

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the J3 has about a hundred more features, roughly.

Sorry, I cannot respond. The telescope and accessories were a gift. I know nothing about the bits and pieces.

The way it is, no. You'll have to add a 3rd party accessory. If this is your primary intention, prefer to buy a telescope.

No, this little gadget is just for looking at the moon, which is very close. If you want to look further into the universe, you have to look for something more powerful.
2051888
yes it should be the right amount of power. there is no sense in spending the extra money on the jx500 unless u have to have matching products. mrv m500 is great quality and more then enough power. get it that would be a perfect match.

Not sure? It doesn't have any additional features? But it does look awesome and works quite well!! I'm happy with it..

With the supplied telescope, it is decent, but subject to any normal obstructions you might encounter in a building. I would rate it above average for other portables I've owned. With an external, it is quite good and compares well with mid priced table units.

Not with a camera that heavy the mount and counter weight couldn't take the load. To do any good deep sky images you need to put the motor drive on it and its also would handle that heavy of a camera. This telescope can see many deep sky object I have seen M81 (Bode's Galaxy) in Ursa Major. You can put on a Celestron Motor Drive and a Orion 52175 Star Shoot Solar System Color Imaging Camera IV and take great pictures. Happy watching!
