Standard 2" Prime Focus T-adapter fits on any telescope that uses a 2" eyepiece focuser for prime focus photography.
To use, insert the 2"
barrel into your diagonal or telescope, attach your D/SLR camera to the
male T-thread (via a T-ring that is specific to your camera; not
included), and you are ready to take photos as prime focus with your
telescope or spotting scope. In this set-up, the optical chain will be:
Telescope/Diagonal > Prime Focus T-adapter > T-ring > D/SLR camera
The 2" barrel of this adapter is
threaded to accept standard 2" filters so you can use your favorite
photography filters as well. Precision machined from aluminum and black
anodized. The adapter weighs 1.4oz and its total length is 1.65" (42mm).
The
use of this adapter is not limited to D/SLR cameras. It can also be
used to image with webcams and video cameras. For this, you will need
to attach your webcam to the male T-thread on the adapter via a
webcam-to-T thread adapter. Similarly, you can connect a video camera
via a C mount-to-T thread adapter. This adapter cannot be used with
point-and-shoot cameras.
