Pourquoi c'est important
Musician Chris Graue previously gained attention for photographing Jupiter with a Game Boy Camera attached to a telescope via a 3D-printed adapter. He has now made the adapter's schematics publicly available.
Musician and retro tech fan Chris Graue made headlines last month after using a Game Boy Camera to take a photo of Jupiter. Obviously, a Game Boy Camera isn't capable of that kind of range on its own. He and some colleagues connected the novelty camera to the eyepiece of the Hooker Telescope at the Mount Wilson Observatory thanks to a 3D-printed adapter. Now, Graue has released the schematics for the adapter, meaning anyone can print their own for free. He's also posted a quick tutorial video about it.
Remember my Game Boy Camera Telescope I took a picture of Jupiter with? Now you can too. I'm making the 3d printable lens adapter available for free

In his own words, the adapter is "a tube that pressure fits inside of a standard 1.25 inch eyepiece for telescopes." So you may not have access to a telescope powerful enough to see Jupiter, but you can still use it to take some pretty nifty shots with the Game Boy Camera.
Questions ouvertes
- What other celestial bodies can be photographed with this adapter?
- What is the image quality compared to standard telescope cameras?
