Anyone use this on a Celestron spotting scope? What were your results?

The bigger the scope the better. Once you get the optimal focal ratio (f/11 for this camera) your image of Jupiter will be, in pixels, about the size of your scope, in mm. An 8" scope (200mm) will give you a Jupiter around 200 pixels wide. Watch my YouTube video Planetary Imaging - Which Barlow? to see how I came up with that. A spotting scope has a small lens. Also, you need to have a motorized mount that will take out the Earth's rotation. See my video Planetary Imaging - Equipment Needed to learn more.

Hello, good camera if you have a large telescope. on small optics you have a lot of noise from the CMOS. H.S.

This will work with the Celestorn scopes, but I am not certain about the non-celestron scopes. You will have to measure the diameter of the tubes to make sure it will fit.

I have not seen the Simmons. I am very pleased with my Celestron up thru 40X or maybe 45X. Above that, the optics are not as clear, and detail is not much more visible, even though the image is larger. Most of my useage is 1.5-2 miles looting at wildlife. At shorter ranges, the higher magnification would probably be adequate as well, that's just not what I use it for. Moon shots are impressive!

yes it should, its universal to celestron telescopes..Im looking at mine now, and it seems to be universal, did you get your t-ring...the t-ring will allow the camera to be attached. I know I forgot the t-ring when I got my adaptor..My telescope is the C8, so it should work.. let me know, but get the t-ring, it goes by camera model.. Like mine is a Cannon, so I had to get a Cannon t-ring that attaches to the adapter...it also only works if your able to remove your leses from your camera, there is another mount that you can use if your using a point and shoot camera.. most sincerely,Lizzy

What type of scope were you using it on? My DSLR comes into perfect focus. You really do not want to use this to image Jupiter anyway - you should use a 4X barlow, to make it bigger, not a focal reducer to make it smaller.

I don't know anything about your particular telescope, but we have it on a Celestron Powerseeker 80EQ and it works great. Maybe you could look up the specs of ours and see if it would work with yours.

In a word; probably. The Celestron is quite adequate. Way back I had a smaller B&L; which was sharper, but did not have the magnification I sought.I use the Celestron strictly for rifle shooting out to a max of 300 yards. Bright enough but seems to have a very small amber ring around the perimeter.

From what I can tell, it does not appear to be compatible. The 1.25 inch kit by Celestron that contains the smaller cousins of these will surely work. This is a high quality set.

is this work with the Celestron NexStar 6SE? and would it gives better results than #93633-A (Celestron T-adapter for all Schmidt-Cassegrains)??

Hans, I have personally tried this on the exact spotting scope, being that I used to own one, It will fit perfectly.

I got the "MULTI-ADAPTER MA5-4" from this website [ http://www.desertskyastro.com/Dovetails.html ] $25 plus $6 shipping. I have the scope attached to a Celeston CG-2 mount I got for around $120 on Ebay. It's fine for just viewing but I wouldn't recommend it for photography which I am not into. I highly recommend getting the double stacking filter if you haven't gotten it already...it's very much worth it. It greatly enhances the viewing experience.

I'm sorry, but that u do not know. Go to the celesta on website. The amazon site shows bugs under the scope, maybe that will give you a better idea. At 150x magnification it's pretty good. My guess is that it will work. Good luck and please post your review for the next guy..

It is a heavy duty tripod, so if your spotting scope has the same DSLR mount then it will work fin.

I'm using it on my Orion telescope without problem, but I can't speak for other brands. To me it didn't look like quality construction when I got it, but it has worked fine, and much better than the Orion one that came with my scope.

I am using this adapter on an old orange tube Celestron 90 and it works. As far as the lens goes I can not help you on that other than you just added a couple of inches to the focus tube. The larger aperture lens I have worked fine, the smaller ones have not. The same has held true for the brand. Celestron lens have worked better than my Meade ones. The last problem is the actual focusing of the scope, with some of the lens the focuser is at its limit and I can not go any further and I have an out of focus image. So the answer is that the adapter works, but there are limitations.

Not familiar with the Celestron product, but I don't think the military zoom will work for you. It is good for up close looks. Not impressed for distances, you will need a tripod for it too.
