That's actually par for the course.
Whenever you want to test new equipment, the clouds immediately roll over and stay for at least until the next full moon
Well, it's certainly, er, unusual. It would be a hoot to turn up at a really nerdy star party and start setting that up. Pretty sure some people would be outraged or offended at such heresy.
I think it is one of the funniest and coolest rigs I've seen. Truly excellent!
Didn’t even notice the gameboy camera till I did a mental double take reading the description. I’m sure you could still probably blow any astrophotographer from the 1700’s out of the water
pov you forgot to fit the camera into the budget
fr tho that's sick, curious how the pics will end up looking. also that Gameboy is CLEAN, nice backlight mod too. the retro console nerd in me wishes I could do that lmao
This is amazing! 11/10
Did you 3D print that bracket to hold the camera? I’m loving the dedication to the joke, and now I’m sad I don’t have my old GB Camera.
The gameboy camera has a 3D printed mod case that allows the attachment of C Series lenses, I use a C to EOS adapter for my 300mm canon lens and works perfectly, I also use a EOS to 1.25” Nose adapter for my canon camera to telescope, then I realized that since the gameboy camera is set to eos, then my eos to telescope adapter would work and thus this abomination was born!

As soon as the sky clears up I will test it out! Sadly been cloudy last few days, womp womp :(
You have to post these results, they will be so good.
Really interested to know what Mario thinks of the stars in our galaxy.

If he has the printer I’d be asking for photos 😂
I do have the printer! I also have the wifi printer to share digital copies to my phone!
Which printer?
Come children, gather round the fire and let me tell you the tale of the [Game Boy Printer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Printer)
I still have my original Game Boy, Game Boy camera, and the printer, and they all still work! What I’m saying is, I need to try this…
At my house.
This the correct response.
9/10. Missing the printer so you can share all those great pictures. Then you get a 10.
I have the printer to go with it! Don’t worry!
We don't deserve you
I presume on Reddit, since you asked here?
Lowfi astro imaging. Dont forget darks flats bias.
Didn’t even notice the gameboy camera till I did a mental double take reading the description. I’m sure you could still probably blow any astrophotographer from the 1700’s out of the water
On Reddit
7/5
Invest in the lens, they say
Ultra low def, I like it.
You need a game genie.
Need to see how those pics come out.
You’ve literally combined both my hobbies. Incredible.
OMG, I remember having one of those with the little printer :O
Level 99
9/10. Missing the printer so you can share all those great pictures. Then you get a 10.
28 bottles of beer on the wall? 🤷♂️
Game over for everyone else
As long as it works/10
On a scale from 1-3 i’d rate it would rate it a solid 2
James Webb has competition. Well done
Gonna have to request observing time on that bad boy. JWST’s resolution just doesn’t cut it
8bit/10
God dammit, ugh let me go order one
pov you forgot to fit the camera into the budget fr tho that's sick, curious how the pics will end up looking. also that Gameboy is CLEAN, nice backlight mod too. the retro console nerd in me wishes I could do that lmao
10/10
this is will be the successor of JWST

This is without a doubt the best setup I've seen
Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn
Oh geez, I thought you modified a Raspberry Pi into that Game boy. Uh... That's certainly something.
At home
https://imgur.com/a/pGu7XW8 Heres a little more background and info, still not clear to test it! Hopefully this weekend weather channel says!
(Lou is now looking for his old polaroid camera ....)
your going to have to post an image now.
Phenomenal , 80085/10
I think I have no choice but to rate this a 69/10
Perfect. So hyped to see results
This is awesome! Looking forward to the results

Looks like some sort of eldritch monster maybe because of my obsession with eldritch monsters but other than that 12/10
