How I used a StarSplitter for the September 28 Lunar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse is a spectacular event, one that you might want to share with family and friends and also shoot photos of.  If you only have one telescope, this could be a challenge. You wouldn't ordinarily be able to do both at the same time. With a StarSplitter, however, you get two outputs from one telescope. I used this feature to livestream the eclipse with a video camera on one StarSplitter port and use the other port to mount a digital SLR camera. The two cameras have different back focus distances, so I used a barlow lens on the digital camera port in order to reach focus. The pictures of the setup are below.  The recording of the livestream is on the Astronomy Labs Youtube page and a timelapse made from the photos taken by the digital camera can be viewed below.
