What do I need to use a digital camera with my telescope?

Remember, when using a digital camera with a fixed (non-removable) lens you must shoot through an eyepiece to form an image. This is called "Afocal Coupling". To accomplish this you will need 2 basic parts. First a means to adapt your eyepiece to a T thread. And second, an "Attachment Kit" to take you from that T thread to your particular camera model. Our compatible eyepiece adapters are the "Digital T Ring" or our "Universal T Adapters". For example say you have a Canon A50 digital camera and a Meade ETX90 (with the standard Meade 26mm 4000 Series Super Plossl eyepiece). The Digital T-Ring (part # DTR1) will fit the eyepiece and Attachment Kit (part #AK21) will adapt it to your camera. If your camera has a larger lens it is important to use an optically compatible eyepiece to keep vignetting (dark edges around the image) to a minimum. There are 2 main factors to consider, the closer the lens is to the top of the eyepiece the better (or a lens with lots of eye relief) and a larger eyepiece lens is better. For example a 25mm Plossl would be a much better choice than a 9mm Plossl. In most cases at least some vignetting is to be expected and can be cropped out of the final image. When selecting an eyepiece for this purpose low power is generally better, don't worry so much about magnification as the camera zoom can greatly increase magnification and a barlow can always be used too. It is more important to have an eyepiece that "optically couples" well.

Digital Camera Attachment Kits

These "Attachment Kits" include everything you need to get from a standard "T" thread to the lens mount on your particular camera (please read the note above, you will need to shoot through an eyepiece). If your camera model is not listed please contact us, we may still have what you need.

Compatibilty

All attachment kits are 100% compatible with all brands of"T" threaded eyepieces including ScopeTronix MaxView 40™, MaxView Plus™, GSO™, Omano™ CamAdapter™ and Alexis Scientific™ Clearshot 600 ™ eyepieces. They are also compatible with our Digital T-Rings and Uni-T adapters.

Attachment Kits by Lens Thread Size

Determining the lens thread size on digital and video cameras: Look around and on the front of the lens for a 2 digit number followed by a Zero with a slash through it. Also see your manual.for references to filter sizes which are compatible. If your camera is not listed by brand and model below and you cannot determine the correct kit send us an email we may still have what you need.
