T-Adapter for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes is the ideal accessory for attaching an SLR or DSLR camera to the rear cell threads of a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for prime focus photography. To begin, you'll need the correct T-Ring for your camera model (93402 for Nikon and 93419 for Canon EOS). Simply remove the lens from your camera and attach the T-Ring in its place; it will snap on just like a lens since it's designed specifically for your camera brand. Next, detach the diagonal and visual back from the rear cell of your telescope. Securely screw the Celestron T-Adapter onto the rear cell threads. Then, attach the T-Ring and camera onto the T-Adapter. That?s all there is to it! Your camera is now utilizing your telescope as a giant telephoto lens. The magnification will vary based on the telescope?s focal length. For example, a 300 mm camera lens is considered quite powerful, but with an 8? SCT at prime focus, you effectively have a 2000 mm lens with impressive light-gathering capabilities! Prime focus photography is well-suited for short exposure images of both terrestrial and celestial objects, such as the Moon. For longer exposures of deep-sky objects using this method, we recommend utilizing a separate guidescope or off-axis guider along with an equatorial mount. The Celestron T-Adapter allows you to connect an SLR or DSLR camera to a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for prime focus photography, threads onto the rear cell of Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, and accepts camera brand-specific T-Rings (sold separately).


Key Features:

  • Allows SLR or DSLR cameras to attach directly to Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes for prime focus photography, using the telescope as a powerful telephoto lens.
  • Threads securely onto the rear cell of Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, ensuring stability and precise alignment for long-exposure photography.
  • Requires a camera-specific T-Ring (sold separately) for Nikon (model 93402) or Canon EOS (model 93419), enabling quick setup and easy camera attachment.
  • Perfect for short-exposure images of celestial objects like the Moon, and terrestrial objects with high magnification due to the telescope's long focal length.
  • Durable metal construction ensures longevity and performance, even with heavy camera setups.
  • Can be used for deep-sky astrophotography when combined with additional guiding tools like an off-axis guider and an equatorial mount.

Specifications:

  • Compatibility: Designed for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, including 8", 9.25", and 11" SCTs.
  • Camera Compatibility: Suitable for most SLR and DSLR cameras from major brands. Requires a separate T-Ring for Nikon (93402) or Canon EOS (93419).
  • Material: High-quality, durable metal construction for stability and extended use.
  • Connection Type: Securely threads onto the rear cell of Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes and uses standard T-threads to attach to the camera via the appropriate T-Ring.
  • Telescope Focal Length Usage: Turns your telescope into a long telephoto lens. An 8? SCT provides a 2000mm focal length, a 9.25? SCT provides 2350mm, and an 11? SCT provides 2800mm.
  • Prime Focus Photography: Ideal for capturing high-resolution images of the Moon, planets, and terrestrial objects. For long-exposure astrophotography, additional guiding tools may be needed.
  • Magnification: Varies based on the telescope's focal length, providing significant magnification compared to standard camera lenses.
  • Mounting Type: Attaches to the standard T-threads on Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes' rear cells. The T-threads ensure a secure connection with the camera.
  • Weight: Lightweight yet robust enough to handle the camera?s weight without impacting telescope balance or performance.
  • Use Case: Suitable for a variety of photography needs, from capturing stunning celestial images to terrestrial observation with enhanced magnification.
