Is it possible to assemble a dslr with a T adapter for astrophotography?

I have done astrophotography with my Canon Rebel T1i this using something like Deluxe Telescope Camera Adapter Kit for Canon EOS /Rebel DSLR - 1.25" Variable Eyepiece Projection & Prime Focus Be advised the telescope becomes rather ungainly with a DSLR hanging off of it.

Sure... You must buy the ring adaptar for your dslr body i.e. Nikon, Canon,etc. And an adapter from that ring to the eyepiece diameter..

This worked on my T3 but if I had to do it over I would move up to the adapter which will recognize the lens and add the information to the photos detailed information.

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.

Yes you can... But you will need a t adaptor... Celestron steels one and a canon mount adaptor to connect the T-adaptor to your camera. The also sell t-adaptor with built in barllows for more magnification.

You can easily attach a DSLR camera with the correct adaptor but the downside is that you cannot use any of your magnification lens' with it. I have had better luck using my iPhone with an adaptor hooked up to the scope

Not sure there is an off the shelf adapter, but machining one would not be to hard. It may cost more to redesign, than to buy a camera tripod.

Search Amazon for T-Ring or T-mount adapter. Have a search on Google too. You have to buy one for specifically for the Minolta/Sony mount. I think Celestron do them themselves too.

You'd have to find a T mount and adaptor to fit it to the scope. If you can find an adaptor to fit the Nikon's lens mount you can fit it to the scope. But how well it will work is another issue entirely. That's going to depend entirely on the CCD chip in the camera and the camera's own built in electronics and how well it can deal with long exposures. Almost all cameras, except those intended for astrophotography, have filters over the chips that are intended to improve image quality for terrestrial photography and can cause problems for astrophotography because they block light at frequencies astrophotographers want.

Hello. If you intend to mount a DSLR camera to your telescope using this T adapter, then yes, you will need the T Ring that is applicable to your camera make/model. If you are not mounting a camera to your telescope, then no T ring is needed.

You need to purchase a T adapter for your Nikon cameras. I bought a T adapter for my Canon EOS Rebel 2Ti and it works fine. I have taken astro photographs through my telescope with the T adapter on my camera.

I believe if you set your camera to manual mode, it would work just fine. I used mine to hook up to a telescope, and have to be in manual... And it works beautiful!!

Yes you can. The friction on the vertical drive of the mount is low so the telescope must be balanced with the camera fited (move it forward on the dovetail by releasing the locking screw). You can fit the camera to the rear of the telescope or to the eyepiece. I prefer the eyepiece since I can get the balance right but more importantly, the camera at the rear would get in the way when pointing up too high. You just need a T-ring for your DSLR. Eyepieces come in 1.25 and 2 inch sizes. Look at a 2 inch T-ring with a reducer to 1.25 so you can use it on a bigger scope in future. I use my Canon 60Da on the 4SE quite nicely with the Celestron T-ring. Yes you can.

The zoom is dictated by your telescope and the eyepiece you are using. First thread the adapter (the longer tube) onto the T-Ring (the wider and shorter ring). Next place the eyepiece you wish to use into the adapter from the end where the T-ring is so that it sits naturally at the bottom and secure with the set screws. Attach this assembly to your DSLR by securing the T-ring to the body the same way you would your lenses. Finally insert the adapter end into your telescope where the eyepiece normally goes and enjoy!

He will need a T-ring (like this for a canon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000XMUKK/) that attaches to the camera where a lens would normally attach and a T adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000665V6) that slides into the the telescope.

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

"Beginner's Session: Attaching a Camera to Your Telescope", you could check this video in you tube and will show you what can you do to adapt your camera to the telescope.
