for Digital (& Film) SLR Cameras

ScopeTronix Adaptaview™

    The Adaptaview U is a strong, light-weight machined aluminum ring with .75mm male T threads on top and three steel securing screws around the bottom. The ring is placed on top of the eyepiece (after the rubber eyeguard has been removed from the eyepiece). The three securing screws are then fastened finger-tight. The eyepiece is now transformed into its own eyepiece projection adapter assembly.

	Adaptaview U - This adapter is very versatile and will fit most eyepieces with a removable rubber eyeguard and a top diameter (with the eyeguard removed) of less than 1.75". It is known to fit the following eyepieces....Tele Vue 32mm Plössl, 40mm Plössl, 55mm Plossl, All Nagler Type 2's and Type 4's, All Panoptics, and Radians. It also fits Televue and Vixen Zoom eyepieces and the following Meade eyepieces: UWA-8.8mm and 14mm, SWA-24.5mm, 32mm, 40mm and 56 Super Plossl. Useful for both 35mm and Digital Cameras (for digital camera use the eyepiece must have good eye relief to minimize vignetting). This unit is equipped with a standard male "T" thread on top.
	Adaptaview 6 - SCT to 2" Push-Fit Converter - Many Accessories designed for SCT scopes can be used with other types of telescopes. This 2" diameter Push-Fit converter is threaded with SCT threads on one end and is designed for using Schmidt-Cassegrain accessories on telescopes with 2" push-fit focusers.

T-1.25" Adapter

This T-1.25" Adapter allows for prime focus photography through any telescope with a standard 1.25" eyepiece port. It is threaded for filters. You will also need the proper T-Ring to mate it to your brand of camera.

Parfocalizing Rings

    These extremely useful rings have always been difficult to find, now we have them in stock in 2 sizes! Parfocalizing rings are used for several purposes. If you would like to make your non-parfocal eyepiece set parfocal you can put one of these rings on each eyepiece and adjust the height so that all eyepieces are at the same focus point, now when you swap eyepieces you won't need to refocus every time! They are also extremely useful when used with a flip mirror (like the one built into the ETX) for photography. To use a parfocalizing ring with a flip mirror you would first use the telescope focus knob to put your attached camera in perfect focus, now slide a ring over the eyepiece of choice and raise and lower the eyepiece in the holder until it is perfectly in focus. Once you find the focus point that is perfectly matched to the camera slip the ring down and lock it in place using the included wrench. Now you can focus using the eyepiece (much easier than a dim focus screen) and just flip the mirror and take a picture! Leave the ring in place on the eyepiece and you can always quickly and easily pop it back in for photography.

Eyepiece Projection Camera Adapter

    Our inexpensive camera adapter fits into any 1.25" eyepiece port and can hold a moderately sized eyepiece within it for eyepiece projection photography. The eyepiece upper barrel can be no larger than 1.5" in diameter and no longer than 1.4" in length. Unlike "Prime Focus" astrophotography where you are just using the telescope as a large camera lens "Eyepiece Projection" allows you to increase the power by inserting the appropriate eyepiece into the adapter. You can also unscrew the nose and connect it directly to a T-Ring for "Prime Focus" shots.

Requires a T-Ring to fit your brand of camera (please see below).

ScopeTronix Digadapt™

The first universal eyepiece projection adapter designed especially for digital imaging. The special design allows the adapter to collapse much further than conventional projection adapters allowing the close afocal coupling necessary to reduce vignetting. The adapter is "T" threaded, use the proper step ring to mate it to your digital camera or use a T-Ring to mate it to your 35mm camera. Note: To use an eyepiece with this adapter it must not exceed the following dimensions: maximum diameter of top - 42mm, maximum height of top - 49mm, maximum overall length of eyepiece - 80mm.

Meade #644 Flip-Mirror System

Meade #647 Flip-Mirror System

Specifications: Model 647 Flip-Mirror System with UHTC: Includes 2" eyepiece-holder and 1.25" eyepiece adapter permitting use of either 1.25" or 2" eyepieces. Mirror clear aperture: 40mm. Recommended for full-field 35mm astrophotography or for CCD imagers of any chip dimensions, including all Meade Pictor Series through 1616XT, or ST-4 through ST-8; or for visual applications with 1.25" or 2" eyepieces.

Celestron Radial Guider

   Specifically for use in prime focus, deep-sky imaging or astrophotography with Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, the Radial Guider is compact and sleek in design. This accessory makes it possible to simultaneously photograph and guide through the optical tube assembly of your telescope. The Radial Guider also eliminates the problem of differential flexure, because you're both guiding and photographing through the telescope. The Radial Guider is compatible with Celestron's C5, C8, C9¼, C11 and C14 telescopes and comes with a unique prism angle adjustment screw. It must be used with a guiding eyepiece, camera T-Ring and drive corrector (dual axis preferred). Primarily for use with catadioptric telescopes, but also works on refractor telescopes having adequate back focus. This guider is a tremendous improvement over conventional off-axis guiders. Not only is the angle of the prism tunable, but it also maintains a fixed rigid camera orientation while still offering users the freedom to move the guiding eyepiece radially about 135°.

Meade #62 T-Adapter for SCT's

   The T-Adapter is the basic means of prime-focus photography through all Meade LX-series models as well as Celestron SCT's. Thread the T-Adapter on to the rear cell of the telescope, followed by a T-Mount for your 35mm camera, and the camera body is thereby rigidly coupled to the telescope.

Celestron T-Adapter for SCTs

   This T-adapter allows you to attach your 35mm SLR camera to your Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for prime focus imaging. This arrangement is used for terrestrial photography and short exposure lunar and planetary photography. It can also be used for long exposure deep-sky photography when using a separate guidescope. The appropriate T-ring for your camera is also required.

Celestron T-Adapter for NexStar 4GT & C90

   This T-adapter allows you to attach your 35mm SLR camera to your NexStar 4GT or C90 telescope for prime focus imaging. This arrangement is used for terrestrial photography and short exposure lunar and planetary photography. It can also be used for long exposure deep-sky photography when using a separate guidescope. The appropriate T-ring for your camera is also required.

Meade #64ST Photo Adapter (T-Adapter)
for the  ETX-60AT & 70AT

    For photography with the ETX-60AT & 70AT models the #64ST Photo Adapter (T-Adapter) is used, it attaches to the rear port of the ETX (see 1 in photo). A T-Ring (2 in photo) for your brand of 35mm camera is then threaded onto the #64ST (1 in photo). The telescope thus becomes a 350mm telephoto lens for photography of the Moon, planets, or terrestrial objects.

    Item requires a T-Ring for use with your particular brand of 35mm camera. The #64ST T-Adapter threads onto the rear port of the ETX, the T-Ring then threads onto the T-Adapter. the T-Ring also attaches to the lens mount of your 35mm camera. T-Rings are available on our (Camera Adapters & T-Rings) page.

Meade #64 T-Adapter for ETX-90/105/125

    Allows 35mm photography through any ETX-90, ETX-105, and ETX-125 Astro Telescope (or Spotting Scope), the Meade #64 T-Adapter threads onto the rear cell of the telescope, providing a standard camera 'T' thread. A T-Ring appropriate to the user’s brand of 35mm camera can then be attached to the T thread. In this way the camera body is rigidly coupled to the telescope’s optical system, which in effect becomes the camera’s lens.

    Item requires a T-Ring for use with your particular brand of 35mm camera. The #64 T-Adapter threads onto the rear port of the ETX, the T-Ring then threads onto the T-Adapter. the T-Ring is then attached to the lens mount of your 35mm camera. T-Rings are available above on our (Camera Adapters & T-Rings) page.
