 Can the Nightscape camera be used for planetary imaging?
Answer

It is possible to use the Nightscape camera for planetary imaging.  However, the shutter speed of the camera is not fast enough for bright lunar and planetary subjects, resulting in an overexposed image.

 

Try using filters, extending the focal length (effective or actual) of your setup and reducing the telescope aperture.  This may help to achieve properly exposed images.
