Saturn photo and video by Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera V2 x Nikkor AF 300mm f4, connected with Canon EF Lens adapter for Raspberry Pi and Nikon-EOS adapter.

Remark about aperture:
Most modern lens have aperture controlled by camera body, no aperture ring on lens body. The aperture is set minimum without camera. So, make sure your lens have manual aperture control on lens body.

Gears:
- WaveShare Raspberry Pi Camera Module: It's a made in China Raspberry Pi Camera Module using the same 5-megapixel sensor of Official Raspberry Pi Camera Module 1.3, OV5647. But with a easy replace lens housing.
- CS Lens housing, to replace the original lens housing of the Camera Module, to change it to CS-mount. (The original house is M12 mount)
- AI-CS adapter, to connect Nikon (or Nikkor) lens to CS mount.
- Nikkor AF 300mm f4 ED tele lens.

This post show how to build a Raspberry Pi Telescope using:
- Nikkor AF 300mm f4 ED
- AI-C mount adapter (Nikkor Lens to C-mount)
- C-M12
- WaveShare Raspberry Pi Camera Module

Why use WaveShare Camera Module, not official?
Because WaveShare Camera Module build with M12 mount, come with removable fisheye lens. It's easy to connect to any DSLR lens with adapter.

Here show the resulting photos:

Compare with the photo by the same lens (Nikkor AF 300mm f4 ED) on Nikon DSLR D700

DIY WiFi Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Camera - Make your own Cloud-connected point-and-shoot camera

This project, DIY WiFi Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Camera, explores the Adafruit PiTFT touchscreen and the Raspberry Pi camera board to create a simple point-and-shoot digital camera. One can optionally use WiFi and Dropbox (a cloud file storage and synchronization service) to automatically transfer photos to another computer for editing.

DukePad - DIY tablet computer based on the Raspberry PI and JavaSE Embedded 8

The DukePad is a Do-It-Yourself, make-at-home tablet computer based on the Raspberry PI and JavaSE Embedded 8. The plans and instructions for building the DukePad are available here. The software on the DukePad uses Raspbian Linux as the operating system, and an OSGi-based JavaFX environment. Within this DukePad environment, apps are simple JavaFX OSGi Modules.

DukePad

The DukePad is not a product, it is an open source, freely available set of plans and software for assembling your own tablet using off the shelf components. As such, the quality of the DukePad software environment is demo-quality. The code is hosted in the OpenJFX repositories under apps/experiments/DukePad.
