CCD Eyepiece for Binoculars

Step 4 Assembly and Allignment:

Alignment is not that hard, once you know how to do it:

Place the tube on your binoculars, try to get it more or less in the centered, by adjusting the nylon screws.
Insert one of the short 1cm rings inside the long tube, but not to deep yet, you want approximately 2cm between top of the CCD and the lens of your binoculars.
Power up and connect the CCD module to a monitor or tv. Insert the CCD module and press it against the ring. Aim at something outside. Make sure upfront that the binoculars are in focus with the object you are taking into view.
If you're lucky, you'll see a bright spot somewhere in the screen. adjust the screws until the bright spot is in the middle, then take out the module, push the PVC ring inside the tube a few mm further.
Insert the module again, The spot should be larger, an might be a bit of center. Center again and repeat, until you have a complete bright image.

At that point the distance from the CCD to the binoculars is optimal. Take it out, put some silicone adhesive on the edge of the perfboard and insert. Then insert the second ring. Done.

Now go film something interesting and don't forget to rate!
