    Re: Any tips for using a transit for celestial shots on land?

    Marty,

    Years ago when I tried taking star sights at night using my transit I placed tissue paper, like a camera lens shade, around the front of the transit. I could then shine a light onto the top of the paper and see the cross hairs. The front lens isn't covered. You're only placing tissue paper around the front barrel of the transit.

    Sam L.
