I'm well used to seeing the Game Boy camera used in all sorts of kitschy, weird ways. I even brought mine to my family's Christmas get-together, and let me tell you, no one is recognizable in the snaps. So, upon hearing that someone managed to strap the old Nintendo handheld and accessory combo to a telescope and to take a photo of Jupiter from millions of miles away, it's safe to say I was baffled that it worked.
In an email to Time Extension, director, musician, and video game enthusiast Chris Graue presents a bizarre contraption that attaches Ninty's retro handheld and the Game Boy Camera to the Mount Wilson Observatory in California. Created in collaboration with camera and electrical department professional Drew van Oort, the project takes the 2BitToy Game Boy Camera specifically and makes it compatible with C-mount lenses.
