Astroclip Lets You Photograph The Cosmos With The iPhone 4 (Video)

We have featured quite a few different accessories for the iPhone 4 here at Kalovski Itim Online, I think this is the first one that is designed to let you photograph the moon and galaxy, the Astroclip.


The Astroclip was created by designer Matthew Geyster from Base One Labs in Boston, and it is an add on for your iPhone 4 that lets you hook up your iPhone to a telescope, you can then take pictures of the cosmos using the camera on your iPhone 4, you can see some photos taken with the Astroclip below.

The Astroclip will work with any telescope with a 1.25 inch eyepiece, so basically it will work with the majority of popular telescopes available, and you will then be able to takes photos of whatever you want through your telescope lens, the video below shows how the Astroclip works.

It certainly sounds like a very interesting idea, the Astroclip is a Kickstarter project, and the designer is hoping to raise $15,000 to put it into production, each Astroclip will retail for around $25.00.



You can find out full details about the Astroclip over at Kickstarter.

Scan Your Old Films For The Cost of A Happy Meal

If you’ve been around from before the digital age, chances are you have stacks and stacks of negatives and slides stuffed in a box somewhere neatly ordered in dedicated archival grade binders.

Those binder (or stuffed boxes) are not the best performers when it comes to finding photographs, making prints and most importantly, they are not back-up friendly.




For those reasons (and more) it is a good idea to scan your old film into digital format. If you shop around there are some pretty good film scanners for about $150, and the Nikon monsters that will set you back a few months rent.

But there is also another way that involves some toilet paper rolls, gaffers tape and old slide frames.

Photographer Claus Thiim built a negative scanner by connecting two TP rolls to an old broken polarizer filter.
