Do I need to get an adapter to use it on an Orion XT 8?

no... it should work fine without any adapter. To be double sure you can ask the question in their forum.. they respond very quickly. http://zwoug.org/

If you are talking about an eyepiece adapter then no. The xt8 will adapt to both 2" and 1.25" lenses. I use this camera with my xt 10 and it is incredible. Highly recommend. Comes with everything you need to work with xt 8. Hope this helps.

You'll need to either use a Barlow, get a low profile focuser, or move the primary mirror further up the tube. This isn't a problem with the camera, rather it's a function of the focal plane of a Newtonian telescope relative to the size of the secondary mirror. I have used a TeleVue PowerMate 4x with some nice results. A cheaper 5x Explore Scientific Barlow should work also.

Depends on the eyepiece. It threads up to a 1.25" eyepiece. I'm not sure what the XT8 has.

Yes, as long as you are buying a new xt8 classic that comes with the 1.25" adapter for it's 2" focuser as part of it's accessories. Happy stargazing!

There's a pdf under More Information for AC adapter compatibility and the Spectre XT isn't listed.

I bought the item for my Nikon D90 and you should contact a camera shop for the straight skinny. By the way, it is one of two parts needed to connect your camera to your telescope. The adapter fits onto another part that is directly attached to the telescope as you would an eyepiece.

You can purchase an adapter from Orion, or you can easily make an adapter using a large angle brace. I favor using a monopod with a 6" strip of wood fastened across the top using a 1/4"-20 T nut (avilable at any hardware store). Just rest the binoculars on the strip of wood. It works great!

You need 2 things, a T ring for whichever DSLR you have and an adapter to fix the T ring to the telescope. Heres a link for the universal adapter, but you'll have to find a T ring that fits your camera. Orion 1.25-Inch Variable Universal Camera Adapter

No, plus you need to install Orion software in order for the camera to work. A tablet is not supported

yes, it is compatible with the xt8, i had that combination. but compared to non-zoom eyepieces, the views were noticeable less sharp than with the dedicated eyepieces, i eventually returned that zoom ...

Gary - you can either plug the small jack into the swivel antenna under the carry handle or, using the adapter, clip onto the telescope antenna.

I think they will not fit in the barrel of the Universal Adapter, only 1.25 inch eyepieces that has nearly the same diameter in both ends. Heres the specificacions offered in the Orion wep page: "Since the Universal Camera Adapter features an inside diameter of 38.6mm, you can insert any 1.25" telescope eyepiece that has an outer housing diameter of 38.6mm or less". Hope this was helpful for you!

The T-adapter is more or less universal to the telescope with the right eye piece diameter. You need the correct adapter ring to fit the camera to the T-adapter.

All or most Orion Telescopes have the Vixen mounting shoe that this fits. You would have to go on the Orion web site to be sure. You can also call thier 800 number (on the sites home page) to be really sure.

it will, though i have not bought the adapter from orion. i think an eye piece camera looks like a better way to go. i would contact orion if i were you, as they are quite helpful. good luck!
