A work in progress, as The Moon came out and the dark sky got washed away, so we packed for the night, cutting the shot short... (also found my lenses fogged while packing!) 8O

Far fetched camera question?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Casey, it sure is possible!
This is called Prime Focus imaging, and you can do it.

You'll end up removing your camera lense, and using a T-Adapter (for a Nikon) and an adapter tube. Then this will go into your scope focuser (without any eyepieces). VOILA! 8)

The only issue I see is that your scope is a PUSH-TO scope, and your imaging will be limited (due to lack of tracking)

What is it that you plan on imaging? depending on that, you might want to go another route...


Let me know,


Ivan

Hello Darrell! 8)

Weather has not been so good for us this season... so I've been just playing moderator, since I had nothing to report or post... wink

All is fine here, and just had a chance to go out with the scopes this past weekend and posted some pics in the DSO/CCD Imaging Forum... it sure was fun!


Clear skies my friend! 8)
